• Lot Description
  The abstract image is based on a photograph of an iceberg that was captured in Norway by the artist. The image is covered with encaustic wax and metallic flakes and mimic the snowy environment to bring attention to the issue of melting glaciers. The scattered metallic spots represent the dirt and industrial particulate which is rapidly affecting ice melt by increasing heat absorption. This body of work is from Temporary Ground, a series of landscape and underwater photographs of glaciers and icebergs in Svalbard, Norway. “Of course there is no pristine environment on earth today, and so I’m capturing the beauty of a highly compromised circumstance. I work a lot with the idea hidden or obscured information. Spending time in the Arctic began with an impulse to be in a part of the world so impacted by humans but with very little visual evidence.” —Shoshannah White
