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

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.

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 !!!

Wetzel County, West Virginia: Hydraulic fracturing underway in the Lewis Wetzel Wildlife Management Area, a public hunting area managed by WV Dept. of Natural Resources. In addition to air quality and water quality issues, the large amount of surface disturbance from clearing wellpads and building roads has resulted in increased forest fragmentation and significant erosion issues - including "slips", a technical term for a small landslide.
