Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve Artist-in-Residence, 2020-2021
As an Artist in Residence at Cedar Creek, Sarina wove together her background in science/science education with her career as a songwriter, performer, and community songleader. She composed, recorded and shared a body of work during her residency year. She accompanied scientists to the field to delve into topics such as biodiversity, ways of tracking ecosystems’ responses to a changing and warming climate, responses to disturbances, cycles of succession – in specific place-based research projects – and used that experience to craft songs that are inspired by this work, drawing out themes and lessons from nature around health, healing and resilience. Her work ties natural processes to inner experiences and truths in a way that is accessible to non-scientists, through simple part-songs and rounds meant to be taught to a group.
