Recherchebreen Glacial Lagoon, small VE
15 public editions
This variable edition (VE) is inspired by the glacial lagoon in front of Recherchebreen in Svalbard, Norway. This is a fairly new lagoon, formed by the retreat of the glacier, with still water and near imperceptibly slow moving ice formations. The imagery was created by pouring ferric chloride over ice; as ferric is denser than water, the melting ice carried the ferric chloride across the plate and allowed it to etch in partnership with the ice melt.
This is the second series made with these plates, which have been reshaped by extended time in ferric chloride in an uncontrolled manner. These acids are usually used to etch an exact image. In this case, it was allowed to destroy the plate, causing the organic outlines and, in some cases, to break the plates apart.
