voICE

Experience Tara Wilkinson’s first exhibition and sale of photographic images from her journey circumnavigating the 1,322 KM Ring Road around the land of “Fire and Ice” – Iceland.

“voICE” is dedicated to bringing the viewer up close to the alarming and exquisite beauty of melting icebergs from the Vatnajökull Ice Cap (Europe’s largest, covering 8% of Iceland). Before being carried out to sea, icebergs break off and fall into the Jökulsárlón Lagoon – considered Ground Zero for Global Climate Change (now the deepest lake in Iceland, it only started forming in 1935).

Every piece of Icelandic ice is created through the compression of billions of snowflakes, volcanic ash and pollution compressed over hundreds of thousands of years. Through her exhibition, Tara takes us even closer to view the suspended animation trapped in glacial ice through her series “ICE CUBES”. Showcased in a custom-built window display at the gallery, each macro photograph of ice has been printed onto thick 6×6 inch acrylic blocks. When backlit, each one-of-a-kind “ICE CUBE” is an illuminated work of art.

The exhibition also includes images from some of Iceland’s other diverse and spectacular landscapes – scorched deserts, lush valleys, majestic fjords and snow-covered mountains.

The exhibition is on now until February 24th at ANDARA Gallery, open daily from 11 AM-5 PM, 54 Wilson Road, Bloomfield.
