Here is my sketch for "Body of Water". In homage to our own bodies that are over 70% water I am creating an interactive art piece that has us think about our water. This is a sculpture of a transparent jelly fish made with fabric, within the womb like billows is an embryonic water creature. A braided twist of ribbon is beaded together with semi precious stones, glass, shell, and pearls, flows from the umbilical cord into tentacles. The piece is suspended from above. I would like to place a small pool of paper to represent water beneath the suspended jelly fish The water is represented by water drop shapes of paper that I am encouraging people to write on and attach these letters to the water sculpture pool. The drops of water fabric paper are linked together to create a stream of consciousness surrealist game poem. I may encourage a spoken word reading at the last day of the event under Ligget Arch. I might have an actual small water fountain in the middle of this paper moat beneath the sculpture. There is a battle for New York's clean water going on right now. If the Marcellus Shale upstate is ruptured by gas companies, our drinking water will be infected with radioactive toxic materials that even reverse osmosis filters can not clean. My art piece "Body of Water" is participatory, I am creating a discussion with the audience. Health studies in other states that have fracked, have proven that contact with these poisonous chemicals in their drinking water resulted in cancer. This is the best way to protect the waters is to ban frack. Pass bill, S4220. The FRAC Act would lift the fracturing exemption and force public disclosure so that people can know what toxins are being dumped into their water. We can participate in our own health by telling our representatives to ban fracking. It is an easy simple call, to find your rep go to:
or
The audience are encouraged to become participants by calling their local senator to vote to Ban Frack. Those who have called their rep can email me, and I will send them a hand decorated thank you postcard from me or another artist. beatrixx at gmail dot com

Gloucester resident Brett Jacobs, 50 year old father of seven, has been arrested this morning for taking peaceful direct action against AGL's coal seam gas fracking.
Three others were also given court attendance notices for taking peaceful direct action this morning after they walked on to the site where AGL plans to commence fracking imminently.
All four people that took peaceful direct action this morning are charged with trespass and will attend court at a date to be confirmed.
The company brought its fracking equipment into Gloucester at 4am on Monday morning and local residents and their supporters have taken action today to show their opposition to coal seam gas industrialising the Gloucester valley, the community's health, existing agriculture and tourism business and drinking water.

ORIGINAL RELEASE: Immediate release, 7am, 21 October 2014
A local man is currently locked on to the access gate at the site where AGL seeks to commence its controversial fracking of four coal seam gas pilot wells in Gloucester.
"AGL has a battle on its hands if it thinks it can turn our valley into a coal seam gasfield. This is our home and we are not giving up or going away," said Brett Jacobs, 50, Gloucester resident of 25 years and father of seven.
The fracking of four coal seam gas wells at Gloucester was approved by NSW Resources Minister Anthony Roberts in August 2014. AGL is planning to drill and frack 110 coal seam gas wells in the first stage of operations in Gloucester.
"This fracking was approved by the NSW Government under laws and regulations that the Chief Scientist has said need a complete overhaul," said Mr Jacobs.
"If Minister Roberts ignores the Chief Scientist by allowing AGL to commence fracking it would be an act of supreme recklessness showing utter contempt and disregard for Gloucester residents.
"We are calling on Minister Roberts to do the right thing by Gloucester and invoke an immediate suspension of all coal seam gas operations at Gloucester until the Chief Scientist's recommendations are implemented," he said.
"Coal seam gas is not safe and AGL's plans to industrialise Gloucester with hundreds of gas wells puts at risk our beef, dairy and horticulture industries," said Karen O'Brien, a small tourism business owner and Gloucester resident living just a few hundred metres from AGL's coal seam gas fracking site.
"Gloucester is a tourism hotspot and the visitor economy generates $44 million annually. Thousands of people flock to enjoy the beauty of our region each year but who wants to holiday in a gasfield?" she said.
Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Helen Boylan, Westminster associate professor of chemistry presented "Shale Happens: An Investigation of the Environmental Chemistry of Hydraulic Fracturing " at the Faires Faculty Forum on Wednesday, Sept. 26, at Westminster College.
Boylan has been doing collaborative research with undergraduate students on environmental analysis of hydraulic fracturing for over a year. She will discuss the pros and cons of shale gas extraction in the context of undergraduate research on the topic. She will also share experimental results on frack water and future plans involving air quality monitoring.
Boylan, a Westminster graduate who joined the faculty in 2001, earned a Ph.D. from Duquesne University.
The Faculty Forum was established in 1990 by Dr. Barbara Faires, Westminster professor of mathematics emerita, during her term as dean of the college and vice president for academic affairs. Faculty members from all disciplines volunteer to present lectures on their current research, artistic productions, and scholarship of teaching and learning. Each forum presents new ideas with innovative lecture techniques.

In Blackpool where Cuadrilla have the full blessing of the UK "government" [more like the Muppet Show] to frack away to their hearts' content - earthquakes not-with-standing - when they are compelled to stop for a while. Never mind, it's a long way from London !!!
Pittsburgh City Council votes 6-0 to support a ban on fracking in a standing committee session on 11/9/10.
Zwei ROBIN WOOD-AktivistInnen seilten sich heute Vormittag vom Dach des Firmensitzes der Europa-Zentrale von Exxon Mobil in Hamburg ab. An der Fassade entrollten sie ein Banner mit der Aufschrift: „Exxon Morbid empfiehlt Fracking. Wir sagen Nein!“ Sie protestieren damit gegen die Fracking-Projekte des Unternehmens und seine Lobbyarbeit für die Genehmigung dieser Technologie zur Schiefergasförderung in Deutschland. ROBIN WOOD fordert von Exxon Mobil, sämtliche Fracking-Projekte zu stoppen. Darüber hinaus setzt sich die Umweltorganisation dafür ein, Fracking gesetzlich zu verbieten.
