ATHABASCA

Modular Acrylic Sculpture
9 ½ x 33 x 2 ¼ inches
2025

“Athabasca” consists of 12 separate pieces. The first three references pertain to the extent of the glacier before record-keeping began, in 1850 and in 1875. The six middle pieces allude to the 1.5 km retreat of the glacier over the past 125 years, from 1900 to 2025. The last three sections symbolize the anticipated retreat between now and 2100. It is predicted that the Athabasca Glacier will completely vanish by the end of this century.
