Ella Mahoney
Knowing that the stories we tell about the relationships we have with the earth affect how we interact with it, “Between a Sea and a Shore” explores our relationships with the shore through people’s stories with water asking them the questions; “what is your story with water?” and “how do you care for the water, or how does it help you care for yourself?” Ella Mahoney will be recording stories primarily from people of color accessing the shore and water of the Rockaways. From late April to June, she will interview and record surfers and beachgoers voices and create a large-scale silk painting in response to the conversations. In June the painting will be carried into the water as a performance and public presentation.
