Ephemeral Field Journal

Sarah Schorr's project, Ephemeral Field Journal: Climate + Love in Claude Monet's Garden, seeks a deeper understanding of how we care for the environment and for each other through an investigation of the gardens at the home of Claude Monet. Through the artist's experiences in Giverny, she understands and visualizes the gardens as a creative, living laboratory for "seeing." In Schorr's Ephemeral Field Journal project, the water garden provides an intimate setting to reflect on love and loss. Simultaneously, the pond evolves into a reflecting pool for witnessing the fragility of nature in the face of climate change.
