Robert Rauschenberg Residency
Robert Rauschenberg’s Fish House on Captiva Island, Florida.
Colin recently took part in a 15-day residency at the former home and studio of artist Robert Rauschenberg on Captiva Island, Florida. The residency was the second edition of the ‘Rising Waters Confab’, which aims to “spark new thinking and to influence civic will toward finding and spreading solutions to the rising waters of climate change. This movement is a collective effort guided by a diverse array of artists and writers in a spirit of collaboration with scientists, activists, advocates, philanthropists, and island dwellers.”
Colin spent his time on Captiva screen printing a collection of new work on Rauschenberg’s press, taking photographs of the island’s breathtaking views overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, and working with artists, scientists, architects, and writers on interdisciplinary approaches to tackling climate change.
