A young artist "draws" a new coastline, reflecting a ten-foot rise in sea level, on the surfaces of New York City as a way of raising awareness and engagement about the issues of climate change.

I will be marking the 10-feet above sea level line by drawing a blue chalk line and installing illuminated beacons in parks. This line marks the extent of increased flooding brought on by stronger and more frequent storms as a result of climate change.
						<P>During the summer of 2007, I will be walking, chalking and marking almost 70 miles of coastline. As I am out in the public creating the work, I will have a chance to engage in conversations about climate change and its potential impacts.</p> <P>Through awareness and action, we <EM>can</EM> change the future.</p> <P>This project is being produced in partnership with <BR /><A target="_blank" href="http://www.canary-project.org/">The Canary Project.</A></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.highwaterline.org/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.highwaterline.org/img/D1B1A277-83A9-4E9A-9B26-03494AA5D95B" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.highwaterline.org/wordpress/2007/07/17/this-is-your-city-on-climate-change-any-questions/" href="http://www.highwaterline.org/wordpress/2007/07/17/this-is-your-city-on-climate-change-any-questions/" style="font-size: 11px;">www.highwaterline.org</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.highwaterline.org/wordpress/2007/07/17/this-is-your-city-on-climate-change-any-questions/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.highwaterline.org/img/91E0EAF0-C68A-4D5F-A160-D406C17085F7" alt="Brooklyn Bridge" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8AE2667A-1EF6-4D5A-8050-A34650E112DD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
