Antarctica exists on many scales- it is an ice archive that precedes human timekeeping by millions of years, and a massive landscape that in its sheer hugeness and remoteness is relegated to the bottom of popular maps and globes, hiding its size at the base of a curving projection. From this landscape, Dr. Anna Bergstrom, a hydrologist at Boise State University, studied the relationship between grains of dust deposited on glacial surfaces, and their collective effects on seawater chemistry. This exhibition, "Dust on a Glacier” takes Dr. Bergstrom's prompt to explore scale, and makes its way into both familiar and uncanny territories via works that feature intensively worked surfaces, meditations on the human hours taken to conduct a science experiment, video that zooms from miniature worlds of moss to full-system topographies, photography of a close-to-home, world-making catastrophe, and more.
