DESCRIPTION
This artwork was created directly on the surface of Vatnajökull in Iceland, using glacier meltwater and natural ink made from vegetable soot. Within a floating frame, ink moves across meltwater gathered on the ice, guided by hand, wind, and time before being transferred to paper.
Each piece is one of a kind. Small imperfections remain as part of its origin, carrying the quiet traces of the glacier itself.
Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Europe, covering vast areas of southeast Iceland and feeding many outlet glaciers. It is a dominant presence in the landscape, constantly shifting, thinning, and reshaping the land beneath it.
This artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Created at Vatnajökull glacier, Iceland, 2025.
