California Coastal Artscapes
ARTSCAPES
Multidisciplinary Collections on a Theme
Artscapes are thematic collections of painting, photography, video, fragrance, music, and the written word.
Each artscape explores a different theme rooted in connection to the living landscape.
They grow over time, expanding to incorporate new works, bringing further illumination and elaboration to the theme.

The Heart of Winter​
An artscape of painting, photography, video, music, fragrance, and words
by Derek Schultz

Lost in the fog, our bodies are submerged, tangled in the frigid wrack. The clang of bells and the creak of peeling paint sound across the obscured watery distance. At the heart of winter the gentle rain never ends; I am asleep surrounded by the crumbling bones of leviathans. The smell of salt and kerosene stains the air; a heron wings through the clinging mist.
