This artwork was a part of the AIR Gallery summer exhibition, "If These Walls..." on Governor's Island. AIR Gallery and UNY initiated a collaboration where three writers created poems based on a water-inspired work from the exhibition. Poet Morgan Parker worked from Erica Stoller's "Floating"--you can read her poem here.
