| ARTIST STATEMENT ON POLAR
REGIONS |
Every trip to the Arctic has been a spiritual
and emotional journey for me. Whether it's following an icebreaker
and supply ship through the ice off Devon Island, learning
the Inuit survival techniques and the struggle that they've
had throughout history, or seeing the glaciers melt away and
polar bears search for food, as we experienced this time.
The voyage this summer revealed drastic environmental changes
that would even make the mountains cry out to humankind to
change our ways. As the snow is melting on the mountains,
the shapes represent tears. The sunbeams, God's light, reflect
on the mountains and snow, giving us hope that we can change
our ways before it's too late. |
