Looking outside the Bubbles

By Mara Scallon

 

Medium: cut paper and film photography

Description: The images are of the Bubbles, seated behind Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park. I used the film photograph as a model to cut the same image into/out of paper. This was a fun experiment in simplifying an image in order to cut it, but the whole time I worked on it, I thought about the value of using different media to see a particular item differently. Understanding and addressing climate change, conservation, sustainability, and other challenges requires that we all look at issues and their proposed solutions through multiple media, to best see the different actors, impacts, and possible futures of different actions.
