The second edition of Ghost Net Landscape was held for 4 weeks at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery on the campus of Pacific University, Oregon. The exhibit acted as a solo show and month-long artist residency, during which time I transformed the gallery with over 220 artworks created in daily collaboration with 300+ students and community members.

Collaborators
The project was integrated into the curriculum of 15 high school and university classes, from Philosophy to Art History and Environmental Studies. 200+ unique fishes were created during class sessions in the gallery and added to a growing school of fish hanging from the gallery ceiling and walls. Several student groups initiated their own collaborative projects, including a workshop for creating string bags / produce bags, re-usable sugar skull decorations for Dia de los Muertos led by the Hispanic Heritage Association, monthly club meeting / art night for Students for Environmental Activism, a collaboration with at-risk high schoolers from Create Alternative School, and a ghost net hula performance in collaboration with Na Haumana O Hawaii.
