River water is frozen, carved into the form of a book, embedded with an "ecological language" or "riparian text" consisting of local native seeds, and placed back into the stream.
تارا: کتاب یخی را با آب شوشترساختم. برای ساخت کتاب از راهنمایی‌های راحله کمک گرفتم. نوشین با دقت زیاد، دانه‌های گیاهان کنار رودخانه را به روی کتاب نشاند. صبح زود من، نوشین، فرشته و شهرناز، از طرف باسیا، کتاب یخی را با دانه‌های رنگینش، به کارون هدیه دادیم.

OFFERING IN IRAN
Mary Ellen Long: I recently collaborated with two Iranian land artists to make an "Offering" for peace at the 30th Environmental Art Festival in Iran. This collaboration was arranged by Raheleh Zomorodinia who exhibited her environmental art through photographs at the Open Shutter Gallery in Durango last year. My Offering series is exhibited in photographs of floating handmade paper circles on bodies of water all over the world. The artists involved were, Tara Goudarzi, and Shahrnaz Zarkash. This collaboration is posted on WEAD (Women's Environmental Art Directory online) under Raheleh Zomorodinia. I also have a few images on that site.

تارا: این کاغذها دست ساخت بوده و آسیبی به محیط زیست وارد نمی‌کردند. راحله آن‌ها را از طرف مری الن به ایران فرستاده بود. آن‌ها را به نمایندگی از مری به آب کارون هدیه دادیم.

Ann Savageau is an environmental artist who creates mixed-media sculpture and installations. Her work deals with the natural world, human culture, and their intersection. Her current interests include global warming and environmental destruction; consumer culture and wasteful consumption; and artistic transformations of waste. Ann’s Stanford anthropological training, her interest in the natural world, and the many places she has lived are reflected in her art.
Ann received her A.B. from Stanford University, and her M.F.A. from Wayne State University. She taught at the University of Michigan Residential College from 1978-2002, and she currently is an Associate Professor of Design at University of California Davis. She teaches courses in sustainable design and in textiles.
Ann has exhibited her work in over 70 exhibitions, both nationally and internationally. She has given numerous lectures and workshops and has juried many exhibitions.
The following sections present a sampling of Ann’s creative work since 1983. It includes a section featuring a special memorial exhibition for Ann’s son Patrick Savageau, a passionate rock climber who died in 2000 at the age of 20.
I have worked with my students, who are about 130 girls around 11 to 14 years old, in Korramabad. They have made bags out of rags and the package of juice.
Using shopping bags is not common in Iran instead they use plastic bags, so students have made a kind of fancy bags. Also I made a movie which is from Bazar in Khoramabad. I have tried to show the bags that people using for shopping.

ساخت کیف هایی با پاکت های آبمیوه و پارچه‌های دورریز و ماشته های کهنه (نوعی بازیافت سنتی). اگر به جای استفاده از کیسه های پلاستیکی، از کیف‌های مخصوص، برای خرید استفاده کنیم؛ زباله کمتری تولید خواهد شد و باید تلاش کنیم استفاده از کیف‌های خرید، فرهنگی همگانی شود.
