The Oldest Ice on EarthThis work joins fieldwork with an Antarctic ice-coring team and reduction and multiple-block woodcut prints. The portraits seek to make paleoclimatology personal by bringing into view the people behind the discovery of the world’s oldest ice. These works were made possible by the U.S. National Science Foundation, U.S. Antarctic Program, and ASC Leidos.
Multiple-block and reduction woodcuts on Kozo washi.
Dimensions vary: 7 in. x 11 in. and 20 in. x 30 in.
