Abstract

Weather Eye II is part of the Ice Watch series of work and the wider Emergency! project exploring ways to relate to emergences from glacial ice loss. It grew out of research fieldwork with archaeologists at a glacier while on residence Musée d’ Art du Valais (2023) when she began gathering the sediment ground down and deposited by retreating ice. This glacial ‘flour’ was painted on to glass lenses, to cast shadowy images of the landscapes she witnessed, which by now already a view from the past. Weather Eye II was selected through peer reviewed competition for the New Light Summer Exhibition of the North, exhibited at Sunny Bank Mills, Leeds from 8 July – 10 August 2025.
