As marshes erode, saltwater encroaches on the maritime forests, slowly killing living trees and turning them into decaying lumber. Constructed devices are inspired by the Continuous Plankton Recorder, an instrument that allows the ocean to record itself using a continuous roll of gauze that collects physical material across hundreds of miles. Each transect can then be analyzed to better understand oceanic conditions. Drawing from this methodology, each workstation integrates video and audio that dissect and interpret different forms of data gathered at Hunting Island, SC. This work is the search for a transitional landscape and methods to quantify it. It is about personal and historic observations documenting a shifting landscape over time, and how all of these things combine to create a new environment that is in constant flux.

O'Steen Art https://claudiaosteen.com/Limnologies Limnologies (2024-25) collaboration with Aly Ogasian Limnologies is a large-scale installation and the culmination of two years of&nbsp; fieldwork on an island in Lake Superior, where the artists lived and worked off grid for two subsequent summers. Combining their research and work on the island with countless hours of studio and material experiments, the installation deeply explores the interplay of water, weather and geology. The title ‘Limnologies’ refers to the artists’ varied and extensive attempts to observe understand weather patterns occurring on the lake, ranging from systematic to absurd to poetic. Simultaneously, the project explores the effect of weather conditions and changing climate on human psychology. The work utilizes documentation obsessively collected via a series of site-responsive, portable sculptures that function as observational mechanisms. The instruments poetically measure wind, waves, visibility, water level, and temperature, exploring both the possibilities and limitations afforded by perceptual observation. The artists engaged with the sky as cinema, extensively documenting color and clouds, which revealed geographically distant wildfires. Through a series of interconnected systems, the work responds to weather conditions through the production of drawing and sound. It additionally exists as performance (via documentation), video, writing and installation. The project touches upon the lake as a “site of memory” by examining how weather patterns have manifested across long spans of time. The work posits that far from being static, geology is a dynamic, living entity that continues to shape and be shaped by changing climate. Scientific research into this region points to a series of entangled ecological systems whose complex interplay is difficult to comprehend and little understood. <img width="4240" height="2117"

O'Steen Art https://claudiaosteen.com/Ghost-Forest Ghost Forest (2025)&nbsp; Ghost Forest&nbsp;is a large-scale multimedia diorama that examines the effects of climate change and human impact on the South Carolina coastline and the ways in which the eroding salt marshes impact the surrounding landscape to create ghost forests.&nbsp;Ghost forests are the remnants of coastal woodlands that have been lost to rising sea levels, pushing saltwater farther inland. As seawater seeps into the soil, it disrupts the ecosystem, leaving behind dead trees that mark the boundary between land and encroaching ocean. The diorama combines my personal documentation of Hunting Island, SC, historic documentation of the changing coastline, found artifacts, and tools that trace my attempt at understanding this shifting landscape.&nbsp; <img width="3500" height="1631" width_o="3500" height_o="1631" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f1498f87c3ad6637b9e4458cac21051350e57c4999aa6ce699a82daef37454e/in-extremis-1.jpg" data-mid="245293691" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f1498f87c3ad6637b9e4458cac21051350e57c4999aa6ce699a82daef37454e/in-extremis-1.jpg" /> <img width="3500" height="2335" width_o="3500" height_o="2335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fae828f823cbf7864e36b9959691441886495236809a8bcfaf4afc27658e0612/in-extremis-3.jpg" data-mid="245293690" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fae828f823cbf7864e36b9959691441886495236809a8bcfaf4afc27658e0612/in-extremis-3.jpg" /> <img width="3500" height="4684" width_o="3500" height_o="4684" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a046d2b0018eb9157db5f6de09fa6c0d426288ea5c3ab8c47339b8de85710e20/in-extremis-2.jpg" data-mid="245293689" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a046d2b0018eb9157db5f6de09fa6c0d426288ea5c3ab8c47339b8de85710e20/in-extremis-2.jpg" /><img width="7952" height="5304" width_o="7952" height_o="5304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46903cc414915c468d5d95e1bab49b911be3acd1dd66fe34cac6f22f97aece8d/in-extremis-4.jpg" data-mid="245290560" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46903cc414915c468d5d95e1bab49b911be3acd1dd66fe34cac6f22f97aece8d/in-extremis-4.jpg" /><img width="5408" height="3888" width_o="5408" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f4991a825b6de5aa7e5f6e58d6db110f76baf9fc075ac389e24995e6b60ce0fa/IMG_8558.jpg" data-mid="245293732" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f4991a825b6de5aa7e5f6e58d6db110f76baf9fc075ac389e24995e6b60ce0fa/IMG_8558.jpg" /><img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1bf2fd6e274dfe4e405a1cd82d06e34e9dc5a1b8b0ca4e682af336c7e9eeebb4/IMG_8586.jpg" data-mid="245293735" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1bf2fd6e274dfe4e405a1cd82d06e34e9dc5a1b8b0ca4e682af336c7e9eeebb4/IMG_8586.jpg" /> <img width="5707" height="3879" width_o="5707" height_o="3879" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cb35b6e0ea99b039a581ba3bd17f790f0fc27f336302bf867f95254ba12eab0f/IMG_8650.jpg" data-mid="245293742" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cb35b6e0ea99b039a581ba3bd17f790f0fc27f336302bf867f95254ba12eab0f/IMG_8650.jpg" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/467dbee556ae2b62d6eb1174b255fefc066c7530fe63d70f73de7fbf129373c6/IMG_8628.jpg" data-mid="245293739" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/467dbee556ae2b62d6eb1174b255fefc066c7530fe63d70f73de7fbf129373c6/IMG_8628.jpg" /> <img width="5712" height="4284" width_o="5712" height_o="4284" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a72640b9d695c46158211271b9a7a59a254881a96cc3b23d8ad3829d3b77e843/IMG_8572.jpg" data-mid="245293733" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a72640b9d695c46158211271b9a7a59a254881a96cc3b23d8ad3829d3b77e843/IMG_8572.jpg" /> <img width="5712" height="3871" width_o="5712" height_o="3871" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7eba62624433c35701623523455c8646cce15802b0b89777ab108ad313869944/IMG_8626.jpg" data-mid="245293737" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7eba62624433c35701623523455c8646cce15802b0b89777ab108ad313869944/IMG_8626.jpg" /> https://claudiaosteen.com/A-Record-of-Atmosphere Thu, 10 Sep 2026 12:22:53 +0000 Claudia O'Steen Art https://claudiaosteen.com/A-Record-of-Atmosphere A Record of Atmosphere&nbsp;(2025) collaboration with Aly Ogasian This video uses color swatches painted in response to written description of sky and water that coincide with drastic visual changes in the landscape and on Lake Superior due to wildfire smoke. https://claudiaosteen.com/Trophic-State-Index Fri, 06 Sep 2024 23:40:33 +0000 Claudia O'Steen Art https://claudiaosteen.com/Trophic-State-Index Trophic State Index (2024) (with Aly Ogasian) Trophic State Index is part of the installation work Limnologies. The video combines fieldwork and documentation from Rabbit Island in Lake Superior, where the artists lived and worked off grid for two subsequent summers.The work posits that far from being static, the geologic formations that make up Rabbit Island are dynamic, living entities that continue to shape and be shaped by changing climate. The exhibition title Trophic State Index refers to the artists’ varied and extensive observations of the lake, ranging from absurd to poetic. <img width="3456" height="1936" width_o="3456"

Claudia O'Steen Art https://claudiaosteen.com/Living-Water Living Water (2022) collaboration with Aly Ogasian Living Water is a collaborative, site-specific installation at Maajaam Farm for Art and Tech, Estonia. The Estonian bog landscape offers an enigmatic zone for exploration; it is a territory where the register between remote sensing data and ground truth is unusually slippery. We approach the river, the riverbank, and bog and as both pseudoscientists and artists in search of boundaries, edges and ecotones. A floating observation station is positioned at this boundary - where habitats combine, the shifting periphery between water and shoreline mark sites of transformation that are difficult to capture because they are subject to constant change. The sculptural observation station carefully considers the fragility of the environment in which it is placed, recognizing that peat restoration in bogs is key to Estonia’s climate action plan. The station uses scientific observational tools and methodologies such as a Secchi disk, cyanometer, and a Forel Ule Scale in order to document the shifting ecotone. <img width="7803" height="5205"

19:08:59 +0000 Claudia O'Steen Art https://claudiaosteen.com/Keweenaw-Observing-Station Keweenaw Observing Station (2021-2024) collaboration with Aly Ogasian Keweenaw Observing Station is a collaborative multimedia artwork with Aly Ogasian that examines the effect of climate change on Lake Superior and the Great Lakes System. The work consists of a series of site-responsive, portable sculptures that function as observational stations/instrumentation as well as repositories of information. These sculptures are inspired by local NOAA monitoring systems, such as the Great Lakes Water Levels Monitoring Network. The instruments poetically measure wind, waves, visibility, water level, and temperature, exploring both the possibilities and limitations afforded by perceptual observation. Within the artwork, our observations are contextualized vis-a-vis large, ongoing collections of data via satellite imagery, scientific instrumentation, human memory, and citizen science intended to help predict the future of the lake. The project touches upon the lake as a “site of memory” by examining how winter conditions contribute to subsequent summers while also engaging with psychological experience and human memory.<img
