Luminous Icescapes series posses a vitreous quality that goes beyond the inherent glassiness of ice, speaking of the alchemic nature of the frosty terrain. Sky, rock, shingle and earth fade into one another, a vista of desaturated greys, punctuated by crystalline structures. Like glass, these images embody a simultaneous beauty, danger and fragility. Luminous Icescapes is a body of work that not only contemplates unique, breathtakingly beautiful, frightening and alien landscapes, but also engages profoundly with photography as an artistic practice.
