About this Event
For two decades, Zaria Forman has traveled the world to bear witness to melting ice and rising sea levels. She meticulously documents the imprint of these forces on rapidly-evolving landscapes, using photo and video to inform highly detailed pastel drawings that convey the urgency of climate change.
During her trips to Fellsfjara, Forman encountered ancient, compressed ice with brilliant clarity, revealing unprecedented character and complexity. The work in this exhibition amplifies these details, each crack, bubble and distortion carrying the narrative of the ice’s journey from its prehistoric formation to today.
In close-up views of glacial ice set against the velvety richness of churning Arctic waters and black sand, these works add to Forman’s career-long contemplation of light and ice; of humanity and nature; of time spent and time left. Forman offers a nuanced clarion call, encouraging viewers to notice, appreciate and protect the earth’s most vulnerable landscapes.
