THE GLACIER PROJECT


This work is a response to field trips to the French Alps and research into the science of glaciology. The natural structures and properties of glaciers have been used as a method to re-think the structure of a book. The work is not intended to be representational; instead, it is the ‘reader’s’ observation and physical interaction – with every surface of the book – which articulates the content. Intending to expand the ways we communicate content, this project moves away from the conventions of encyclopaedic knowledge; facts are given space to breathe and, in opening up multiple narratives, they become ideas.
