An estuarial lagoon is the place where fresh and salt waters meet and mix
It is a fragile meeting and mixing not having the constancy of the oceans or the rivers
it is a collaborative adventure its existence is always at risk...
Life in the rivers the lakes and the oceans where the properties of water are more constant is less stressful
But life in the lagoons is very special it has evolved high tolerance to the stresses that come about from sudden changes in salt and fresh water and temperature and available food for the life web
Life is in the lagoons is tough and very rich it breeds quickly
Like all of us it must improvise its existence very creatively with the materials at hand but the
materials keep changing
Only t
he improvisation remains constant....
— Helen Mayer Harrison & Newton Harrison, The Lagoon Cycle

Grayscale Presents: The Waters Will Rise Slowly
We think of the boundary where land becomes water becomes land again. The boundary where
sound becomes light becomes air becomes rain, soil, roots, starts again. We think of places
where all maps are temporary, and paths must be improvised. To wander in places like these is
to ask, What is possible? Where are we, and where can we go from here?
Drawing on the work and ideas of environmental artists Helen Mayer Harrison & Newton
Harrison, The Waters Will Rise Slowly is an event without a centre.
We encourage you to wander, to find your own path.
—————
and
the waters will rise slowly
at the boundary
at the edge
redrawing that boundary
continually
moment by moment
all over
altogether
all at once
it is a graceful redrawing
and redrawing
this response
to the millenia of the making of life
