Cape Poge

Water makes me think of change. My sculpture references the Cape Poge chimneys in the waters off of Chappaquiddick. It also illustrates how water causes uncontrollable and destructive change, but makes room for new things. Under the melted glass and the still intact chimney is Island sand.

This sculpture depicts a scene from nature that has been fractured. It is a metaphor for how pollution has ruined some of our island ecosystems. The sea turtle represents a victim of this pollution. The blue fresh water rising up from beneath the pollution represents our hope for a clean environment.

This sculpture represents the carbon footprint. The dead plants show how people are treating the environment. The living plant on top shows nature’s resilience.
