Location: Hodges Gallery
Cost: FREE
The web of life under the surface of aquatic ecosystems is exceedingly complex and devastatingly beautiful. In a place where species interactions begin at a microscopic level, small changes have huge impacts and huge changes wreak havoc. Trophic Cascade addresses the causes and impacts of marine bio-invaders on a global scale, conferring visibility to species normally unseen. April Flanders’ creates a conversation between art and science, raising awareness around a problem that lacks an easy solution.
