These icebergs no longer exist.

They wear their path in sediment striations, compressed blue stripes frozen in crevices, dimpled surfaces, indicating some have toppled as they carve their path of disintegration and decay, melting and drifting, eroded by sea currents, the elements and time.

Observing changes in atmospheric activity, I photographed these icebergs which had come adrift from the Antarctic Peninsula land ice mass, a homage to Iceberg A-68 (6000 square kilometres). This iceberg calved from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf in 2017, and by 2021 no significant fragments remained.

‘Ice is a metaphor for change’ captures the process of transformation, in recording changes of state in material (ice) and process (melting).

While the work references changes in climate, global temperature rises and disappearing ice at the Poles, it also references broader themes in my work of the circuitous cycles of life and death, and the coalescing and dissipation of natural systems.
