Mary Babcock’s recent work 78º 3′ 0″ is featured in the Fall 2019 Exhibition in Print issue of Surface Design Journal. The work is one of a series of tapestries woven from refuse: abandoned fishing nets and lines previously inhabiting our interconnected waterways. Named after Greenland’s largest glacier, it is inspired by Sveinung Råheim’s photo of two reindeer caught in a haunting entanglement of abandoned net and contemplates the interconnection between our warming Pacific waters and the melting glaciers thousands of miles north.
