This series of three art quilts explores issues of water pollution and erosion. Access to clean water is expected to become one of the critical issues of this century, even more important than access to energy resources.

An ancient oak will one day soon topple over, as the soil beneath it has been scoured away. Hurricanes (such as Hurricane Bill, pictured in five successive satellite images) are a natural part of our mid-Atlantic environment, but can bring too much water or too little when that natural cycle is disrupted.
