SPLASH—A Response To Climate Change

Today I would like to invite you to my exhibit, SPLASH—A Response to Climate Change on view via Lyceum Gallery at Suffolk Community College. It was supposed to be a physical show on campus but was cancelled due to Covid-19, thus I have created it virtually.

Margery Gosnell-Qua, the curator, describes it like this: “The artist depicts a celebration of nature and the wonders of creation, while expressing a lament for the losses in our natural world due to man’s inability to protect our environment. Images engage the viewer’s imagination with a hint of recognizable imagery that alludes to speed, heat, and sound, harkening to extreme weather patterns.”

Since 2013 when I developed this technique, I’ve been producing these images while watching Climate Change accelerate on the beloved East End of Long Island. Below is one of the latest images created just a few weeks ago called Flotsam.

Meryl Spiegel

Meryl Spiegel is a photographic artist, whose work reflects her relentless curiosity whether she is on the street, in the fields or by the water. A former journalist for The New York Times with an MFA in Creative Writing, she now focuses primarily on her artwork, but is thrilled to share her thoughts here about how her creative life continues to evolve and expand.

“I picked up a camera years ago thinking it was the only way I could render humanity and its wonders,” she recalls. “Then three years ago, I began to draw and ultimately paint, not knowing I could.”

Also an educator, Meryl teaches photography as well as yoga, a passion that fuels her creativity off the mat. Regularly, she conducts photographic workshops at East End Arts. Last year the Center Moriches Library was awarded a grant from the NY State Council on the Arts to fund a Composition class conducted by Meryl and offered free to its patrons. This summer and fall, she will be conducting more classes at the library.

Meryl lives with her husband, Steven, and her hound dog, Copper, in East Quogue —where she raised her two daughters, Lauren, a Westhampton real estate agent, and Jaclyn, a financial analyst in Manhattan.
