With forecasts we’re told to heed warnings; hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Tara Cooper’s Weather Wise assembles a compendium of weather lore and superstitions from cloud nines to fair weather friends to silver linings. It is the next chapter in her ongoing series/alter ego Weather Girl—a project that mixes an amateur’s enthusiasm for meteorology with found objects, video and print.

About:

Working within the realm of creative non-fiction, observations combine fieldwork and footwork moving from the amateur ornithologist, to the idea of north, to my most recent study involving the language of weather. I received my MFA from The College of Art, Architecture and Planning at Cornell University in 2008, specializing in the disciplines of print, film and installation. Currently, I am teaching within the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo .
