In 2019, explorer Alistair Carr spent several weeks in Greenland's Arctic Circle, living amongst the remote community of Upernavik as artist in residence. The Inuit, once great nomads, told him that twenty years ago the winter sea ice around Upernavik was two metres thick; today it's more like ten centimetres. These latest works capture the magnificence and fragility of the vanishing Arctic, raising the question: How long before we see the last iceberg?
