Mara Haseltine was an artist in Residence aboard Tara Oceans in Febuary and March 2011 and is currently working with the large network of scientists from Tara Ocean.
Tara Oceans is a 3 year long voyage traveling around the world which is chronicling the state of the oceans and its relationship to the planets atmosphere. Mara worked alongside scientists to capture plankton which she is now using microscopy to create 3 dimensional works which are an ode to the oceans and humankind’s intrinsic connection to it.
