Blue Shadow is a relic produced from my memory of a hole. Specifically a depression in a melting Icelandic glacier. The piece explores the blueness that naturally emerges from this type of deep ice and the memories of a melting world that lay secret within these depths.

To produce the work’s color, the sunrise in Iceland was documented for three hours. Various blue tints were then carefully selected from the video and reproduced as hand-mixed pigment. The video referenced is Blue Sunrise.
