ARTWORK STATEMENT

As one of the worlds oldest endorheic basins, Lake George has a history of dramatically fluctuating water levels, despite having no outlet. This vast space is in a constant state of flux. The water levels depend simply on the balance between the evaporation rate on the lake surface and the rainfall and water flowing into the lake.
