Ever/After is an ongoing collaborative multimedia art project by Marion Belanger and Martha Willette Lewis. The two began working together when they were commissioned to create 2021’s Plants & Insects for the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven. As this immersive permanent installation took shape using the historic archive of images, documents, and texts,the two began to expand into other projects such as The Underneath. Ever/After has its origins during COVID 19 lock-down when the two began wandering in the local woods, observing, talking and foraging. The two became  increasingly alarmed by the climate and ecological crisis of the planet, and began a creative undertaking in response to the urgency of the changes. The series is both about the earth, and the process of working collaboratively. Ever/After is a visual lament for the seepages, shifts, losses, extinctions, and extractions made by humankind. shown here are photographic double exposures, unique collages and editioned works all featuring Marion’s photographs and Martha’s experimental over-painting using marbling , hand-made paints, and evaporation techniques.
