Art Exhibition at Harper Gallery: Limnologies - Claudia O’Steen collaboration with Aly Ogasian
2025-10-23 17:00 - 19:00 | Elizabeth Stone Harper Gallery, 360 5th Ave, Clinton, SC, 29325
Limnologies is a large-scale installation and the culmination of two years of fieldwork on an island in Lake Superior, where the artists lived and worked off grid for two subsequent summers. Combining their research and work on the island with countless hours of studio and material experiments, the installation deeply explores the interplay of water, weather and geology.

Exhibition Open: Oct 2 – Nov 22, 2025.
Reception: Oct 23, 5-7pm
Zoom meet with artists: Oct 23, 5:30 pm

Artist Bios
Ogasian & O’Steen work collaboratively to produce multimedia, research-based installations.
Their work incorporates sculpture, digital media, drawing, writing, and photography. Their
practice takes a flexible, idea-driven approach. Their projects always involve fieldwork, and
installations incorporate artifacts and “data” collected from the landscape itself. The work
focuses on their relationship with the changing environment, and uses methodologies borrowed
from citizen science to critique traditional notions of exploration and conquest.

They have been awarded collaborative residencies at Marble House, Rabbit Island, Montalvo
Arts Center, Maajaam Estonia, The Arctic Circle, and NCCA Saint-Petersburg amongst others,
and have exhibited both nationally and internationally. Claudia received a BFA from Watkins
College of Art and an MFA in Digital + Media at Rhode Island School of Design. She resides in
South Carolina and is an Associate Professor at Winthrop University. Aly received a BFA from
Queen’s University and a MFA in Digital + Media at Rhode Island School of Design. She is
based in LA and is an Assistant Professor at Scripps College.
Artist Statement
Limnologies is a large-scale installation and the culmination of two years of fieldwork on an island in Lake Superior, where the artists lived and worked off grid for two subsequent summers. Combining their research and work on the island with countless hours of studio and material experiments, the installation deeply explores the interplay of water, weather and geology. The title Limnologies refers to the artists’ varied and extensive attempts to observe understand weather patterns occurring on the lake, ranging from systematic to absurd to poetic. Simultaneously, the project explores the effect of weather conditions and changing climate on human psychology.

The work utilizes documentation obsessively collected via a series of site-responsive, portable sculptures that function as observational mechanisms. The instruments poetically measure wind, waves, visibility, water level, and temperature, exploring both the possibilities and limitations afforded by perceptual observation. The artists engaged with the sky as cinema, extensively documenting color and clouds, which revealed geographically distant wildfires. Through a series of interconnected systems, the work responds to weather conditions through the production of drawing and sound. It additionally exists as performance (via documentation), video, writing and installation.

Rabbit Island is located near the Midcontinental Rift System, a 1,200 mile long geological rift in the center of the North American continent, which formed 1.1 billion years ago when the continent began to split apart. The rift ultimately failed but left behind geologic evidence that points to the a long history of global environmental change. The project touches upon the lake as a “site of memory” by examining how weather patterns have manifested across long spans of time. The work posits that far from being static, geology is a dynamic, living entity that continues to shape and be shaped by changing climate. Scientific research into this region points to a series of entangled ecological systems whose complex interplay is difficult to comprehend and little understood.
