“In Deep Water,” an art installation by Jane Ingram Allen and Jami Taback, is now on public display in the lobby of Rowan University’s new Discovery Hall, home of the School of Earth and Environment. The installation focused on water and the climate crisis consists of 6 long panels each about 25-30 feet long hanging in front of a wall of windows and visible from inside and outside the building. Other smaller “In Deep Water” panels are also displayed in windows near the Dean’s office and Conference Room in Discovery Hall. This collaborative artwork by Allen and Taback incorporates hand papermaking and printmaking, and the transparent sheets of handmade paper are embellished with printmaking and joined with threads.

This work will remain on public view at Discovery Hall, Rowan University, through the end of this semester in 2022, and then will travel to other sites in the US and internationally.

Thanks to the installation team for doing such a great job installing this work with the Northern California-based artists participating virtually.

Wow, this is amazing! Deep water was made to be shown here!! So many wonderful aspects, how it looks from outside, the shadows it casts indoors… would be great to see in person with the light coming in from behind! And what an elevator truck they had to use to install! Glad it’s documented!

Hi Tina, Yes, it is an amazing space! And they did a great job with my written instructions and sketch, although if I had gone it might have been a little different. They did have a nice lift! The art gallery director at Rowan, Mary Salvante, is an old friend and we have stayed in touch by email. She used to be the art director at Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in Philadelphia where I did a residency in 2003, and Mary worked with the School of Earth and Environment to coordinate the installation of “In Deep Water” there. Maybe some people from around Philadelphia I know will be able to go see it in person!
Thanks so much for your comments and hoping to see you soon!
Jane
