Donna Haraway<\/span>, who played a key role in bringing the show to campus, writes:<\/p>\n

“Photographs\u00a0did not prepare me for being in the Reef in the flesh. The simultaneously playful, wild, serious, and formal all came through viscerally as well as cerebrally. The Midden room was very powerful. I felt like I was moving through a veil to another reality as I walked through the kelp forest crafted from dense, heavy, entangled tape. Then, that other, darker reality in the night-time ocean enveloped me. The trash accumulation was palpable, heavy, looming, menacing, but also suspended, even as toxic elements were everywhere in each composition. Diving, walking, swimming\u2014while a little dizzy and breathless because of the power of suggestion in the space …\u00a0You have brought something magical to Santa Cruz just when we need it most.”<\/em><\/p>\n
