FALLING WATER

Saturday, August 10 | 11:30 am

All welcome, family and friends, at Makers Market for Ocean Art participation project to paint a stream, drop by drop, in falling water. Launching with a “Water Ways” performance, danced as a single drop of water, as rain, as a storm, with “Falling Water” that paints a stream.

About this Participation Art Project:

We are all like water returning to the ocean.

The same water circulates forever: saliva, an ice crystal, fracking oil, washing mud, an olive leaf, a raptor’s blood, shape-shifting Earth’s salt oceans, and sweet tea.

The “Water Ways” artworks we create are also like water in their ability to build momentum and shape-shift. We begin by painting, one drop at a time, and the work will transform over the following year into a performance, sculpture, installation, wearable costumes, banners, flags, a carpet to host conferences on ocean learning, and a walk to the ocean as an Ocean Art Parade.

Project by artist Dyan Marie, with participation and/or support from MACCA, Metchosin ArtPod, CRD, BC Hydro, and arts, culture, ecology, and community members.
