Oceans in Distress
Oceans in Distress documents the three main drivers which are
sickening the global marine environment, and all are a direct
consequence of human activity: global warming, acidification and
a dwindling
level oxygen, a condition known as hypoxia.
Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The Future of Water
Exhibition focused on the impact that climate change, temperature
change, chemical change, acoustic change and industrial and
noise pollution have on the future of water and marine biodiversity
in
a collaborative installation called Oceans in Distress.

in plants over time within the coastal landscape. Color and pattern
studies of coastal landscapes were completed using aerial photography,
Pantone color, computer rendering, pixelization and landscape
installations, with essays by scientists, colorists and the artist,

Vanishing Landscapes and Endangered Species
UW-Madison Arboretum, May-June 2009 - Link
Joseph Emmanuel Ingoldsby trained in art
and landscape architecture with Ian McHarg, who mentored him
on Design
with Nature. Mr. Ingoldsby’s
work combines art, science and technology to advocate
for vanishing landscapes and endangered species.
The artist can play an integral
role in the raising of the public consciousness through
advocacy. Art can be used to communicate complex
ecological and scientific
principles to an audience outside of the confines
of the academy. This eulogy for Vanishing Landscapes
and Endangered Species
must be told with an urgency that speaks to the immediacy
of the visible
and documented changes in our world. The collaborative
works examine, explain and illustrate issues as climate
change, fragmentation
of
the landscape, broken trophic cascades, species shifts
and extinction, and the loss of the natural and cultural
landscape.
A retrospective exhibition of environmental advocacy works,
which use art and science to communicate concern
for the vanishing landscapes and endangered species of the Midwest
and New England.
Works include panels from Silent Shadows, Crane Effigy
Mounds, Spirits of Whooping Cranes, Shrouds for an Endangered
Species, Landscape
Mosaics, Leaves in Grass, Requiem for a Drowning

Fragmentation
of the Natural and Cultural Landscape
I am interested in exploring
the natural and cultural history of the region. The lecture
would outline the historic, political and technological
shifts that advanced
the westward manifest
destiny,
and their impacts on the natural and cultural landscapes of
the region. The illustrated lecture traces out the
progressive imprint and impact of settlement and infrastructure
on the native landscape
over time.
The
Fields Project- Icons of the Vanishing Prairies - Link
Monumental earthwork set in the Rock River Valley with the
iconic bald eagle, gray wolf and American bison bound by a
setting sun. Since European settlement and westward exapansion,
there has been a 99% loss of the prairies east of the Rocky
Mountains, with a subsequent loss of species. This work highlights
the fragmentation of the prairies and the impact on iconic
species of the Midwest.
Crane
Effigy Mounds - Link
In
tribute to the natural and cultural history of Wisconsin,
the Crane
Effigy Mounds
earthwork represents the whooping crane’s habitat of water-
intaglio, earth- prairie grass mounds and sky- animated flight
pattern. The mound forms reference and pay respect to the
early effigy mounds built between A.D. 700 and 1200 by the
Woodland native
culture. The mounds are constructed of tamped native soil
over a colored mineral earth marking. The soils are stabilized
with
native andropogon - little blue stem prairie grasses and
blue lupine, as habitat for the endangered Karner blue butterfly.
A coiled rattlesnake
ramp observation mound at an existing hill allows visitors
visual access to the earthwork from Birch Street in Necedah
Village. The
Crane Effigy Mounds will also be visible from the air and
create a threshold and landmark to the Necedah National Wildlife
Refuge
of wetlands and woodlands, where whooping cranes and other
wildlife breed within the “land of yellow waters”.
The Crane Effigy Mounds construction is a collaborative effort
between the Artist, the Village of Necedah, the Ho-Chunk
Nation, the state of Wisconsin, and the US Fish and Wildlife
Service.

species.

The author, trained in art and landscape architecture, utilizes
observation of nature and culture as a central focus of his art.
The work involves research, scientific collaboration, and examination,
documentation, analysis and synthesis using art, science, and
technology for environmental advocacy. The focus of these works
has been on the coastal landscape of New England, the imprint
of humans on land and sea, and the impact of climate change on
the marine landscape and fisheries of New England.

Anadromous Awakening Link
Create a 3-D computer model of Boston Harbor and
tidal rivers, showing the factors, which trigger the spawning response
of anadromous fish. Water temperature, lunar and tidal influences,
light and rainfall are computed and the fish movements charted. Install
a procession of banners marking the cyclical passage of anadromous
fish species upstream. At the spawning grounds at the Lower Mills,
install large floating archetypal fish forms of smelt, herring and
shad with salmon fish embryos beneath. The power of the water pressure
of the falls and rapids keep the sculptures aloft. Internal lights
allow the sculptures to glow in the dark. At night, project images
of schooling fish upon the rapids and digitized projections of herring
and shad upon the water vapor from the falls of the Neponset River.
Viewed from the newly renovated 17th century Adams Street
stone bridge, the ghostly projections of the anadromous fish
echo the pre-colonial migration of the anadromous fish up river to
spawn.
This is the site of the first industrial dam built across a
wild river in the New World. The work documents the interface of
the natural,
cultural and industrial worlds and evokes the memory of the
anadromous fish return to their natal streams to spawn. Centuries
later, fish
still return to the Lower Mills unable to swim upstream.
