Poisoned Well addresses the issue of hydro fracking and it’s true cost to environmental degradation and human health. Slowly rotating motor lowers a roll of paper, upon which are printed the names of 70 of the most toxic chemicals used in hydro fracking, into the water tank. Upon touching the water, the paper dissolves and the text cascades to the bottom. Over a period of days a build up of letters and cloudy paper pulp accumulates at the bottom of the tank, making clearly visible the seemingly invisible potential negative effects of hydro fracking on human health. The exhibit includes bottles of 'produced water', which is what remains after the paper dissolves.

I'd like to thank the Puffin Foundation for supporting this project.
