Svalbard - High Arctic Expedition 2017

In Autumn 2016 I traveled to the High Arctic sailing up the coast of Svalbard from Longyearbyen to Fuglefjorden on a tall ship as part of a 3 week expedition with the Arctic Circle, an annual expeditionary residency programme.
Working with such a remarkable landscape I felt completely overwhelmed by the sheer scale of such an extreme environment on the peripheries of the world. Landing and walking beside glaciers, up into drifting mist hanging in dark snow-strewn mountains, standing on deck watching a thunder grey and pale blue world passing, and trying to capture all this on paper was an impossible task. New work slowly emerged in the studio reflecting the experience.
