Pie in the Press: "at low water was made fifty-odd years after the events documented by Rebecca Chamlee." Rebecca Chamlee, Prospectus: "As a self-taught naturalist, my work examines the intersection of my artistic and scientific interests by collecting and cataloging the natural world. I am inspired to record, interpret and celebrate nature. "My new artist's book looks back to the beginnings of my passion for exploration and observation of native species to a time when I collected sea animals gathered at low tide to bring home and live in an aquarium in my girlhood bedroom. "The main text recalls the story of filling the tank with mollusks, fish, crustaceans, echinoderms, and invertebrates-anything unlucky enough to be captured by my bare hands-and the life-and-death drama that took place among the captive inhabitants. A poem, told from the viewpoint of the child in the moment of discovery, runs through the book on translucent leaves that overlay closeup images of the intertidal habitat. Field notes contain data from the year spent in the tide pools of Southern California researching and collecting images for the fourteen detailed plates of marine specimens and twelve habitat images found throughout the book."
