FOREVER NOW, Meg Bloom & Jennifer Davies (Hamden) part of THE EXCHANGE by SomethingProjects (somethingprojects.net).

“Our artworks, sited on land that delivers clean water to New Haven, point to the vital role of water in nature:s cycle. They consist of two opposing materials — kozo fiber nets which derive from the paper mulberry bush, and plastic nets manufactured by the chemical industry. Through the action of water and other natural elements, the kozo fiber will break down to enrich the soil, but not the plastic, which will remain “forever now” as an environmental pollutant.”
