JANET LAURENCE features in a fantastic interview with Radio Adelaide about her time at Casey Research Station as the 2021 Antarctic Arts Fellow.
Explaining the process of creating her new series "Ice has a memory and the colour is blue" Laurence remarks,
“I had a studio in the science building, and one of the glaciologists came in which a huge chunk of ice for me to make artwork with. I suddenly went oh god I can actually use Antarctic glacial ice to make works. So, I made a series about ice melting which I thought was a fantastic metaphor about climate change.”
