Northern Reaches
3 works
Northern Reaches asks why we are drawn to landscapes that do not need us. These places do not reflect us; they put us in perspective. The three works show branching rivers in the Icelandic highlands, the last coastal light in the Lofoten Islands and a glacier front in Svalbard. The panoramic format holds the horizontal course of water, rock and ice in a quiet line.
Icelandic Highlands, 2023. Branching rivers cut through black lava plains. Green moss and dark rock lie in clearly defined zones between the channels. From above, the waterways read as an organically formed network of lines.
Lofoten, Norway, 2024. Dark rocks rise from turquoise water. Warm evening light lies over sea and sky at the horizon. In the backlight, the coastline almost dissolves.
A glacier in Spitsbergen, 2023. A tall ice front meets dark water, with mountain peaks rising into deep clouds behind it. The smooth, motionless water makes the scale of the ice wall measurable.
