Join us at Waterfall Arts in Belfast, Maine as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Project Puffin!

Created by artist, Pippin Frisbie-Calder, Welcome to Egg Rock: 50 years of Seabird Conservation brings Eastern Egg Rock to Waterfall Arts’ Clifford Gallery. Step inside and be transported to the world’s first restored seabird colony on Eastern Egg Rock, a small island along Maine’s Midcoast.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of this effort, Pippin brings to life the inspiring return of the Atlantic Puffin after nearly disappearing from Maine due to hunting, and the challenges they now face with climate change. Take action to protect seabirds and you can take home a puffin print of your very own!

About Pippin Frisbie-Calder, Printmaker

“My work seeks to investigate ecosystems and demystify scientific outcomes, while calling into question human culpability and responsibility. Working with Microbiologists, Ornithologists and Biologists I create large-scale installations and prints exploring issues of climate change, species extinction and environmental stewardship. The materiality of printmaking reverses its subject and injects personality into every mark, transforming my drafting in different ways depending on the use of wood, collagraph or screen. The specificity of science requires reimagining my print practice and changes my methodology
in service to ornithology, or ecology. The work I am happiest with always finds a balance between printmaking, science and draftsmanship, unifying to tell big picture stories about humanity's complicated relationship with nature.”

Her prints and installations have been shown widely around New Orleans, most prominently as a solo show at the New Orleans Contemporary Art Center. She has also exhibited at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Michigan, Biennale Internationale d'estampe contemporaine, Canada, Indonesia, Denver, Maine, South Carolina and Rhode Island. She has held residencies at the Joan Mitchell Center, A Studio in the Woods, Big Cypress National Preserve, Jakmel Ekspresyon, Haiti and AS220. She received her MFA in printmaking from Tulane University in 2017 and her BFA with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2008.
