ABOUT THE SERIES
Ice Fragments is a series of cast glass sculptures that draw directly from the natural textures of glacial ice and rock collected during my 2006 expedition to Palmer Station, Antarctica. Created using molds taken from icebergs, glacial melt, and surrounding geological formations, these works capture the delicate structures of a rapidly vanishing world.
The sculptures juxtapose fragility and permanence—ephemeral ice forms preserved in solid glass—highlighting the impact of climate change on polar landscapes. When placed in natural or directed light, the textured surfaces refract and scatter illumination, evoking the experience of sunlight passing through melting ice.
