Sari Nordman is an interdisciplinary artist working across public art, fiber-art installations and socially engaged practices. Many of her projects have been informed by climate change. At the LMCC Arts Center residency she develops processes for transforming discarded plastic into art. Her projects include public art installations, wall hangings, wearable tapestries and mixed-media works. We will visit multi-disciplinary and teaching artist Sari Nordman exhibit during UN Climate Week in her studio at the LMCC Arts Center on Governors Island. The theme of art and climate is very pertinent.
