| 1 | CC23.0000.0030 | artworks (art) | Oyster Sanctuary, Glazed ceramic, found objects | Jeff Dombek | Artist statement: A vibrant Chesapeake Bay 100 years from now: difficult decisions made leading up to and at the turn of the 21st century could someday reveal that our generation not only attempted, but also succeeded at good stewardship of the Bay. Reducing the human impact on the land and water, supporting grassroots programs like oyster gardening, planting underwater grasses, and building oyster sanctuaries could all someday prove to be the key difference makers for the Chesapeake Bay to prosper once again. Thriving communities of filter-feeding oysters and acres of healthy underwater grasses translate into thriving communities above the waters of the Bay as well. May it all come true for our beloved estuary. <br /><br />Jeff Dombek<br />Columbia, Maryland | ![]() | View | |||
