Rising Tide was molded from the edge of Keuka Lake in the Finger Lake region of New York while I was an artist in residence at Sunny Point Arts Center. In 2019, the year I was there, I was told that the lake had risen higher than it had ever done before flooding many homes around the lake that had never been flooded before indicating that the climate was changing. The piece is also about plastic pollution which was prevalent in the debris washing up on the shore of the lake and the upside-down fish shows how fish and other aquatic life are being negatively impacted.
