Ice Station Quellette at HOUSE OF ETERNAL RETURN
Ice-Station Quellette is an evolving super fiction designed to engage visitors in the climate crisis, realized through original art and photography, vintage and manipulated ephemera, sculpture, polar science, narrative, and charismatic characters in a large-scale setting.
I put my heart and soul into Ice Station Quellette. The climate crisis felt like an all-hands-on-deck moment. ISQ was everything to me, my prayer of hope for the world. Apparently, all some folks saw were dollar signs.
Enthusiasm for the Ice Station Quellette space at HoER was overwhelming.
On some level, it validated a year of design, three months working in the grueling, dusty installation, and the considerable money I spent to make it the best it could be.
In the end, however, my investment amounted to a colossal donation to a phenomenally profitable corporation – but more importantly, an eight-year loss of control over my life’s work that took a bitter four-year legal battle to regain.
Thank you wyattwizard, I did too.
