A CLIMATE ART COLLECTION
EXHIBITED AT SHAPED BY ICE
THIS WORK WAS CREATED TO MIRROR THE FLOW, SPACE, AND MOMENTUM OF THE RECEDING GLACIERS OF THE NORTH CASCADES MOUNTAINS.
THE POSTCARDS
Set of five 4×6 postcards with art straight from the glaciers I backpacked to with North Cascade Glacier Climate Project: Lower Curtis, Coleman, Easton, Ice Worm, Daniels, and Lynch. They’re printed on super-thick (32pt) unlined fancy paper, so they could be fine art prints, but I labelled them postcards to inspire you to send them to your friends, lovers, and lawmakers. The backs are blank besides my small logo, so you have plenty of room for your message. Science communication meets aesthetic snail mail!
THE IMPACT FLAGS
The Impact Flags from the Current Textures collection are on display at the Shaped By Ice show at Slip Gallery in Seattle, WA until May 5th. They will ship to online buyers the following week, or you are welcome to email me to set up local pick-up for free.
If you’d like to collect all three Impact Flags for a $2,700 investment, please email me (emmamarymurraystudio@gmail) to claim them all.
THE ORIGINAL FLAGS
I made these flags "en plein air" as an artist-in-residence with North Cascade Glacier Climate project. Backpacking with materials from cut-up old jeans to yarn and a needle enabled me to create to a soundtrack of calving ice and gurgling glacial runoff. I aimed to capture both my feeling of immersion in each place and the measurements from the scientists showing rates of the glaciers' recession. White flags evoke surrender, strings of flags evoke prayer, and these flags represent a bit of both: surrender to all we can't control and hope that we can unite in action.

It depends, but jackets are usually $300-500+. They can take weeks to stitch!

As of fall 2023, I’m aiming for monthly collection drops. Stitching is a slow art, so some of these collections may only have a handful of jackets. Thank you for your patience!
