Item Description
Glacier Reflections, cyanotype, 11 x 14
Glacier Reflections is the artist’s creative interpretation of the beautiful yet horrific melting glaciers she observed while sailing the fjords of Spitsbergen Svalbard, Norway. The blues characteristic of the Cyanotype 19th century alternative photography process combined with the fluid effect of printing on soft fabric resonates with the melting high arctic.
Glacier Reflections est l’interprétation créative de l’artiste face à la beauté saisissante, mais aussi terrifiante, des glaciers en fonte qu’elle a observés lors d’un voyage dans les fjords de Spitsbergen, au Svalbard (en Norvège). Les bleus caractéristiques du cyanotype, un procédé photographique alternatif du XIXe siècle, combinés à l’effet fluide de l’impression sur tissu souple, résonnent avec la réalité fondante de l’Extrême-Arctique.
