Ice Cubes are com­pact works from an ongo­ing pho­to­graph­ic project explor­ing glacial ice in Arc­tic envi­ron­ments. Using a tech­ni­cal cam­era with per­spec­tive con­trol and a spe­cial­ized indus­tri­al lens orig­i­nal­ly devel­oped for microchip inspec­tion, I pho­to­graph ice struc­tures in a portable stu­dio set­up on loca­tion, using con­trolled light­ing and polar­iza­tion tech­niques. These meth­ods iso­late the inter­nal ten­sions, crys­talline for­ma­tions, and sub­tle trans­for­ma­tions with­in the ice, giv­ing them a clar­i­ty they don’t have in ordi­nary per­cep­tion. The project draws on Friedrich Schelling’s phi­los­o­phy of nature, approach­ing the glac­i­er not as a sta­t­ic sub­ject but as an active, self-form­ing enti­ty. What you see in these images are traces of that inner activ­i­ty: ice as process, not object. These small-for­mat edi­tions offer a way to engage with the project as it unfolds. more info
