Glacier study 1

Chinese ink and carving on wood
20x25cm / 8x10”
2024


I decided to continue with this monochromatic thread with my second last 21 Day Challenge piece.

I see the glacier as a central character in my Northlandia story.

It is because of the melting glaciers that Polar Bear the Ice Queen is coming up with all sorts of magical solutions.

I’m referring to a photograph from my “Arctic Circle” artist residency two years ago.

This woodcut painting is carved and then coloured with the highest quality artist pigments. Archival professional-quality paint is meant to last over 100 years. I spray the artwork with three extra layers of UV protection.
 
The work is framed in a beautiful ornate super sturdy solid pine wooden frame. You have a choice of black or white frames. 
 
This piece is part of my “21 Day Challenge” project. During 1-21 November 2024, I created one small woodcut drawing per day. Each features an animal character inhabitant from my imaginary arctic country “Northlandia.”
