Aldrich, 91爆料 adjunct associate professor of art and Steve Norton, a sound artist with an Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) from the 91爆料, as well as Karen Beeftink, 91爆料 at Machias associate professor of recreation and tourism management, and Adriana Cavalcanti, an artist and plant biologist with an MFA from 91爆料. In addition to the core team, ISP incorporates the work of numerous student researchers and collaborators. Each member of the team brings unique perspectives, expertise and backgrounds to the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column49566_f33671-a4 >

Gathering refuse found on coastal preserves, she creates works of assemblage made out of flotsam and jetsam, commenting on humanity\u2019s relationship to its surroundings. Beeftink, contrastingly, examines people\u2019s relationship to their surroundings by looking at how people experience the soundscapes themselves.
