The"Just Beachy After Sandy" exhibit at Monmouth University in New Jersey is on display through early December. It incorporates people's survival stories into the artwork, which also includes an obelisk made from slices from trees that fell during the storm.
"You mention Sandy around here, and everybody dives right into their story," Bright said."It's right at the tip of their tongue. I thought, 'How can I make this a communal event?' I wanted to visualize the data and the reality of the storm in a way that's more accessible to people." —"Patricia has been displaced from her home since Sandy. Pat's family used to spend summers down the shore and when her husband passed, she moved to a bungalow in Keansburg. During Sandy, Pat's house began to flood and she was forced to stay with family. Her house was demolished." — Patricia and family, Keansburg, New Jersey.
Flotsam and jetsam from the storm are displayed as art in their own right, including lengths of weathered nautical rope and fishing line that she plucked from New Jersey beaches after the storm. They included tales such as this one from Susan and her family, who lived in Ocean Grove:"We watched as water streams swept past the house as if we were on a moving train."
Obama really didn’t handle this storm very well. 👀
