"Rising Seas in Bristol: An Artist's View" Exhibition

Using maps, scientific renderings of projected seawater inundations, photographs she took of the Bristol County shoreline, and her own artistic imaginings, interdisciplinary artist Linda Megathlin presents a series of photographic compilations depicting what rising seas might look like in Bristol County 2050- 2100.

Located at the head of Narragansett Bay, Barrington, Warren and Bristol are projected to be especially hard hit by sea level rise because there is nowhere for surging seas to go except over Bristol County’s densely populated land.

Megathlin created her photo-based artworks to raise people’s awareness of what could come to be and to spur dialogue as we begin to envision a future in a vastly different littoral zone.
