Altered Environments is a portfolio, curated by April Flanders which includes the work of 25 artists from the United States and Canada. Marine bio invaders are species that have expanded beyond their natural range in the aquatic environment. The recognized vectors for these invasions include ballast water, commercial and recreational boating, accidental and deliberate introductions, and rafting, all of which are either a direct result of human activity or exacerbated by it. In this portfolio, these artists address the breadth of the aquatic environment, both salt and freshwater, as a complex and fragile ecosystem, under daily threat from multiple forces.
