Many more details to come through the blog, but I wanted to send a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has backed this project! This idea of "building the ocean" and combining art + swimming has been many years in the making, and I am truly grateful for this opportunity to get started.
I look forward to sending everyone their backer rewards, and again, stay tuned to the blog as I continue to update pre-during-post residency!
All the best,
Sara
Hello hello! 12 days remaining with this Kickstarter - I am so grateful for the support thus far, and am excited (and hopeful) as I move into the final stretch. The past two weeks have included a lot of swimming, both in the pool & a new favourite: the San Francisco Bay. Its cold, its choppy, you can't see the bottom but the views are incredible and well worth it. With that, the blog is up with a few posts! www.buildingtheocean.com/blog
Stay tuned, share with friends and here's to the next 12 days!

Thank you so much to you all who have backed my project in this first week! Your confidence & excitement truly means a lot, and I am thrilled at how everything is coming together.
I spent some time this weekend looking at my route, and have included my first lake suggestion - Torch Lake, Michigan. Its claim to fame: being named the Third Most Beautiful Lake in the World by National Geographic! If you have any recommendations for bodies of water that I should see, please let me know & I will try my best to work it in.
Again, thank you for your support, your enthusiasm, and helping to spread the word!
