The äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Department of Art and Art History, which administers the awards, will give financial support to C.L. Terry Gips of Wellfleet, Nathalie Miebach of Brookline and Timothy Murdoch of Boston for their artistic projects focusing on the ocean environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nGips will scan aquatic plants at high resolution, printing them ten to 20 times their original size in sections that are pieced together. The enlarged scale gives a \u201cvivid immediacy\u201d to the tiniest objects, from roots, stems, and leaves to grains of sand, the artist notes of the project, entitled \u201cRecordings and Memories of the Ocean: A Series of Intimate Observations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nGips\u2019 work appears in the collections of the National Museum of American Art and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.

The work will be on view at the Fuller Craft Museum, Brockton, Mass. in January 2011.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nMiebach holds an MFA in sculpture from the Massachusetts College of Arts and is represented by the Cynthia Reeves Gallery in New York.

Constructed from recycled detergent bottles, the sculptures will open as the tide flows into the channel and close as it ebbs. Viewing points on nearby walkways and bridges will feature information regarding plastics in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n \tThe artist earned an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, RI \u2013 August 5, 2010 \u2013 Three Massachusetts artists are recipients of the 2010 awards from the Visual Arts Program of Rhode Island Sea Grant.
