Subtle change marks transition. Paralleling scientific data collection processes, I utilized methodic
ritual to document the dynamic, yet seemingly subtle barren antarctic
landscape. During December 2006 and December 2007, I repeatedly visited
the same geographic area, an expansive snow and crevasse field of Ross
Island. Here, I collected short video clips and photographic stills
that document the quickly changing meteorological environment;
concurrently National Science Foundation teams monitored this area in a
multi-year study recording the impact of global climate change.
