Interview with Erin Jane Nelson
This show is a deep dive into the geologic history of my hometown of Tampa, FL. Water percolates through the crumbly karst limestone of Florida’s foundation, gathering in an underground aquifer and ultimately resurfacing as vibrant cold blue springs. The diagrams, gestures and materials in this show all point to different ways of understanding Florida’s underground simultaneously as an amateur scientist and sentimental excavator.
