Leslie Hossack

Arctic Ice

Acrylic sculpture
13.5 x 9 x 2 in.
2024 

 

“Arctic Ice” is the first release from Leslie Hossack’s latest series INFERNO.

Like her previous work, INFERNO is research based. Here Hossack exposes objectively measurable aspects of climate changes such as melting Arctic ice, rising sea levels, unprecedented Canadian wildfires, hazardous air quality, increasing world temperatures and so on.

INFERNO is data driven. Although the works are abstract, they are accurate representations of scientific records. 

“Arctic Ice” is fabricated from 35 separate pieces, each of a different height. These represent the extent of multiyear ice in the Arctic for the years 1989 through 2023.
