Around 2009, I began making small paintings of abandoned army barracks in Fort Tilden on the Rockaway Peninsula, part of Gateway National Park. A few years later, I revisited this series, imagining a 16-foot rise in sea levels, caused by the Greenland ice sheet sliding into the ocean because of global warming. Then, in 2012, Superstorm Sandy struck with a 16-foot wall of water. After the water receded, the area was completely transformed, covered with sand from what were once huge protective dunes, now obliterated. Some of these paintings come in sets of three: before the deluge, during, and after.
