Ghost Net Landscape Humboldt

Oregon-based Artist Emily Jung Miller created an ongoing series of community interactive traveling installations transforming locally gathered marine debris into art. Using materials gathered from cleanups around the beaches and waterways here on the North Coast, as well as diverted waste from the fishing industry, a large scale artwork will be made with the debris. Ghost Net Landscape evolves with each presentation, transforming to fit the needs of the space, time, and community where it is exhibited. Join our Humboldt community in making a public work of art out of the marine debris depicting local marine life.

Emily Miller will be in residence for a week of engagement visiting the campus and the community around Humboldt Bay and the region. She will be at the Reese Bullen Gallery on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus from 10am-4pm from Monday September 11th through Friday September 15th. All are welcome to join us in creating artworks out of the collected marine and waterway debris. The project's mission is to create space where positive transformation is a natural and joyful response.

The exhibition Ghost Net Landscape Humboldt will run from September 11th through October 14th at the Reese Bullen Gallery. We will hold an Opening Reception and Artist Talk with Miller on Wednesday September 13th from 4:30pm-6pm at the Reese Bullen Gallery, with light refreshments.

The gallery is located in the Cal Poly Humboldt Art Building, at the intersection of B Street and Laurel Drive, directly across from the Van Duzer Theatre. The gallery is open Wednesday/Thursday 12pm-6pm, Friday 11am-5pm, Saturday 11am-2pm. Closed Sunday-Tuesday.
