In Living Color: The Art and Science of the Coastal Landscape
Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
In Living Color uses color as a means of defining photosynthesis by charting the seasons of emergence, growth, seeding and senescence 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, Joseph Emmanuel Ingoldsby.

New Bedford Fishermen’s Monument National Competition Winner Link
Research, design and design development of a 63 feet long granite Eastern Rig Scallop Boat with bronze friezes of the historic fisheries of New Bedford, including cod, flounder, tuna, scallops and lobster set on the walls of the granite cabin. A larger than life granite Captain at the helm overlooks the colored granite deck cut as a nautical map of the coast to Georges Bank and the Nantucket Shoals. A mosaic compass is set at sitting height beneath the mast, set with flags. Beyond is a raised dais that can be used for celebrations and ceremonies. The stone and bronze ship is set on a point between the Acushnet River and Buzzards Bay at Fort Taber Park. The City of New Bedford and the fishing industry strongly support the construction of the Fishermen’s Monument at Fort Taber. However, funding has not been forthcoming in its current private, local committee status.

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 Landscape and Anadromous Awakening.

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.

As Artist in Residence at Necedah, I shall install hand made, prairie fiber paper casts of whooping cranes at critical points within the whooping cranes native habitat. The paper cranes will be allowed to return to the earth, illustrating the slender thread between an endangered species and an extinct 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 17^th 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.
