In this issue of Alpinist, my work is featured over ten pages and an accompanying essay. It is available online as part of the Covering Climate Now campaign.
The Shadow’s Edge
“I wonder if the climbers in my watercolor notice the land around them teetering on the edge. As they take rest steps toward the summit, do they see the crusts of exposed ice like scabs on the flanks of the upper mountain? Do they understand that the widening bergschrund is the wound of a dying glacier?
Often the silhouetted figures are the final pieces I paint… [in them] I see memories of lost friends, past climbs and past selves. But the figures could be anyone: we are all connected to each other by lifelines as we navigate the remnants of vanishing worlds.”
