Over twenty years ago my mother, Bonnie Ashworth, passed along to me an old, worn ledger book. The book contained poetry written over one hundred and fifty years ago by her great-great-grandfather and passed down to her by her Grandmother, Caroline Billingham Bentz (Grandpa MurphyÕs granddaughter). The family possessed several pictures of the author, but no one in the clan could remember precisely who this lyrical ancestor was. He was known to the family as simply ÒGrandpa Murphy.Ó The acquisition of this family heirloom marked the beginning of my long search for the identity of the mysterious Grandpa Murphy, and my family history in general; a search that would ultimately lead me to a small historical society basement on the Northern Neck of Virginia where many of my questions began to be answered.

Three Degrees of Change' is a project that brings together three artists whose practice is concerned with issues of climate change, sustainability and the many challenges which humanity now faces. They have taken as their starting point the simple question, 'In the context of the debate surrounding climate change, how do we/humans relate and engage with the environment?'. These three very different artists have created three very different installations that give us three very different views. Ken and Julia Yonetani draw our attention to the precarious nature of coral reefs and the path of destruction that is now marching towards these fragile eco-systems. Laruen Berkowitz juxtaposes a myriad of indigenous and introduced plants. Drawing on the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam - loosely translated as healing or repairing the shattered world - Berkowitz offers us simple and practical steps on how we might begin this process of healing. Ash Keating highlights the wasteful lives that many of us live. Intercepting waste as it makes its way to landfill, Keating temporarily places a glitch in the system, reusing the found material to create temporary sculptures and performances." -- Foreword.
