With All The Talk Of Global Warming,

I thought these photographs,

 were going to be of ice shelf's breaking off,

 and how we are warming the polar icecaps,

 so they will all be gone,

 in a few years, but I was wrong,

 they were not photographs at all, they were paintings made by Zaria Forman who we have featured on our blog before, She works using pastels, the good news was that this past winter, She had the opportunity to be side-by-side with the the towering ice shelfs, observing their magnitude aboard the National Geographic Explorer during a four week art residency, “Many of us are intellectually aware that climate change is our greatest global challenge, and yet the problem may feel abstract, the imperiled landscapes remote,” says Forman, “I hope my drawings make Antarctica’s fragility visceral to the viewer, emulating the overpowering experience of being beside a glacier.”

She has a solo exhibition of her work titled Antarctica opening at Winston Wächter gallery in Seattle, U.S.A. on September 9 and running through November 4, 2017,

You can watch a timelapse of Her completing her drawing Whale Bay, Antarctica no.4 in the video above, stunning, absolutely stunning.
