Absconding from urgency

This is a sculpture created from clay, metal, and prints repurposed from other works. To create the prints, I searched the creative commons for photographs of the Athabasca glacier spanning from 1940 to present day. I stitched them together using Photoshop’s image stitch function, which predicts each photo’s most likely neighbour. This created a “speculative” landscape of the glacier, which spans not only distance, but also time. I then printed this image on photolithography plates, and deconstructed the landscape once again by cutting it up and reinstating it into 3D space in this sculpture.
