Eve Mosher

[4][5] Eve Mosher initially worked as a studio artist, creating abstract interpretations of the natural and built environments through drawings, sculptures, and installations.

[8] In 2007 artist Eve S. Mosher created a public art project in Brooklyn and Manhattan that brought the topic of climate change literally to the doorsteps of the city's residents.

But with sea levels rising along the East Coast — a natural phenomenon accelerated by climate change — they now projected that what was once considered a 100-year flood could soon happen as often as every 3 to 20 years.

[9] Eve Mosher used topographic maps, satellite images, and data from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University, to predict the locations likely to be subject to flooding.

Mosher's HighWaterLine went past low-income housing developments, luxury apartment buildings, power stations, nursing homes, and hospitals.

Mosher intentionally expanded her engagement with the community before and after the project, but the goal of interacting with people continued to be creating conversations and awareness.

[2][3] Mosher worked with local Philadelphia residents to draw a thick chalk line through four miles of sidewalks and streets in the Kensington, Fishtown and Port Richmond neighborhoods.
