Artist / Producer

We spent two summers in Cordova, Alaska creating stories about climate change and what we observed. We compared things on the map from Alaska to Oregon and places in between, we made connections and used visual storytelling to digest the scientific data.

I used art to produce and explain concepts that could not be captured on film. I created color palettes from the land and species that we became connected with. 

The Odds is an experimental film that I conceptualized, while working on this project, about the life cycle of a salmon. Entirely told through watercolor illustrations and the help of a wonderful film crew.

For every 4,000 salmon eggs laid, just one egg makes it back up the river to spawn. It is nearly impossible to produce actual video footage of an entire salmon life cycle. This is why we wrote a narrative and chose illustration to deliver the data, and to discuss an ecosystem at risk.
