“This exhibition looks at the natural occurrence of glacial retreat and the scientific facts of the unprecedented rapid rate of ice melt that is now occurring. But that’s just part of this exhibition’s story. I grew up in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest and lived for years as a young boy in Alaska, and I am in awe of the wild, beautiful places out there – the mountains, the glaciers, the geology. My work takes inspiration from nature, but often deviates dramatically with colors, pattern and texture because I want the pieces to be hopeful. I want to believe that we can still preserve these wild places, the glaciers, the ice for the coming generations. We have already changed the environment so much, but we can work to slow and halt our impact on the warming planet.” – Ryan Molenkamp
