My current work is almost totally based on research I have completed in Arctic regions of Svalbard, during residencies at the Gallery Svalbard in Longyearbyen. My interest in working with ice as a material is becoming a way to develop a series of artworks meaningful in the context of climate change. The staging of COP 26 in Glasgow later this year (2021) provides us artists with opportunities to offer comment and reflective perusal of the significant issues we face on the planet.
