Lower Curtis Impact Flag
The Lower Curtis glacier is melting rapidly; the terminus has retreated over 184m since 1986. I was lucky enough to be in this spot to capture a fleeting moment with this ephemeral mass of ice on a puffy-cloud August day. My experience witnessing it, like this canvas, is layered: full of loss, full of wonder. In this piece, I emphasize the lines of glacial run-off, which connect the ice to the communities—human and non-human—downstream. We're in this together.
Medium: cotton canvas, yarn, thread, paint, pen, pencil, scrap fabric, stick
Size: 32" x 36" (+ ~5" with string + stick for hanging)
