Collection: Glaciers - Millenial Extinction
This collection came about after I read an article about the meltwaters of glaciers - incredibly transparent, turquoise blue rivers that flow from meltwater lakes that can form in mere hours. These rivers eventually dive deep below the surface, to the underlying bedrock and provide the means for glaciers to move toward the sea and eventually to calve icebergs. Greenland's glaciers are melting at historic, unprecedented annual rates. They are estimated to be gone by 3022 - with some research indicating this depletion timeline may be halved, to 2522, if climate change continues unabated. The inaugural works: "Encroach", "Overwhelm" and "Consumed" are a new approach to displaying art - in sequence (left to right, as listed) to show change over time. This collection will continue to evolve with the addition of new pieces.
