Photographed on black and white infrared film, this work was created in 2019 on The Arctic Circle artists and scientists expeditionary residency. Warming at twice the speed of the rest of the planet, the Arctic has been at the forefront of the climate crisis. In this transient, ever-changing environment, the landscapes morph before your eyes. The sounds of gushing water, creaks, moans and the startling cracking thunder of calving glaciers all indicate that this place is alive and in flux.

Icebergs from calving events floated past in a hurry, on their way to becoming a part of the greater ocean system. Underneath, ancient land-forms previously buried under ice had recently been revealed. I photographed the ice and landscapes resembling the moon as they passed me by, flowing, melting, falling, disappearing and emerging. This series represents an attempt to grasp onto a fleeting place that feels as though it is slipping through our fingers. In some of the frames I freeze the environment in place, in what will inevitably transpire as a memory of what once was. In other frames I let the camera move with my body in a performance representing our futile inability to stop time and reverse catastrophic change, resulting in blurred visions of our past melding into our future.
