Visit the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery in Canton, NY to view an exhibit of Wool and Water.
Wool and Water is a data art project that blends fiber art with scientific data to create visual representations of changing water quality conditions in the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain Basin. In association with the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute has embarked on a collaborative fiber arts project supported by the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership to showcase the legacy of protecting clean water in the Lake Champlain Basin and beyond. The physical collection was created by Michale Glennon, who serves as the Science Director for AWI. She has conducted ecological research in the Adirondack Park for more than two decades and has been knitting for almost four.
The Richard F. Brush Art Gallery is a teaching and learning environment that aims to promote creative expression, critical thinking, and dialogue across disciplines and cultures among artists, curators, scholars, and a diverse and inclusive St. Lawrence University community, both local and global.
