The Frozen Ocean Diptych of cyanotype drawings is currently up at the Anchorage Museum 2020 Biennial Exhibit. I am fascinated by the way frozen glaciers look like oceans, waves of ice stopped in time. As glaciers melt they become oceans, rising waves we can't stop. These landscapes and seascapes are in a state of constant change and they will change the way we see our surroundings and environments. ⁠These are two cyanotypes of drawings studying this relationship - of the Bering Glacier and the Pacific Ocean.⁠

The Biennial is a beautiful exhibit featuring work from around Alaska. From the Anchorage Museum:

The Alaska Biennial is a survey of contemporary art in Alaska. Alaska Biennial comes at a time of unprecedented change across the globe. Artists reflect the world around them, and some of the work in this exhibition addresses the pandemic and ideas of isolation, racism and decolonization, as well as the surrounding and changing natural environment.
The artworks and artists come from across the state and work across media. The Biennial has been organized by the Anchorage Museum under various titles and forms for more than three decades as a way to celebrate the work of Alaska artists and to encourage the creation of new works.

You can see a virtual tour of the exhibit here.

Noon -12:45 pm Friday February 19th Online! Somer Hahm and Kristin Link will give a talk on their work in the Alaska Biennial

On Friday, Fairbanks artist, Somer Hahm, and I are going to give a talk about our work in the exhibit for members of the Anchorage Museum. I am excited to share more about my cyanotype process, making sun prints from drawings, as well as inspiration for these images from time spent living on a glacial river, working with scientists studying glaciology and oceanography, and working in collaboration with poet and writer Jeremy Pataky. I hope you can join us on Friday!
