Creek by Creek<\/em> is a collaborative effort by artists Mary Edna Fraser and Jeff Kopish, underscoring the perils of plastic pollution and the importance of protecting the Lowcountry\u2019s unique waterways. Featuring an array of Fraser\u2019s batiks on silk and oil paintings and Kopish\u2019s ceramic and found object sculptures incorporating everything from recycled plastic to actual trash, this exhibition aims to further educate the public on environmental issues through the lens of art, and to remind viewers of the consequences of their own actions within the larger ecological systems of which they are a part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artists\u2019 new work, and their ecological concerns, is being presented in concert with three indispensable area groups: Charleston Waterkeeper<\/a>, the Coastal Conservation League<\/a>, and the South Carolina Environmental Law Project<\/a>. Specifically, the exhibition will focus on eight areas of concern: the endangered African American communities of Cainhoy and Phillips, the Beidler Forest Audubon Center and Sanctuary, Captain Sams Spit, Crab Bank, the Great Pee Dee River, Hobcaw Barony, Shem Creek, and James Island Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy work is not what is important,\u201d says Fraser. \u201cIt is the collective work done by all three groups. How they protect what we hold dear\u2026 passing the baton to win new battles. This is an environmental activist show to encourage action and counter apathy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation will be on view Wednesdays through Sundays from noon to 5pm starting March 18 and closing May 8, 2022 at City Gallery<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
