Artist Statement: I flew over Greenland for the first time in daylight in the late winter of 2019, and saw the melting ice. As beautiful as the patterning appeared, I was struck by the expanse of blue water where white ice should have been. It reminded me of a piece of Indigo I had dyed a few weeks earlier. I took a picture and when I got home I made Greenland at 35000 Feet.
