Cryo III Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

'Cryo' explores the natural phenomenon that takes place at Abraham Lake in Alberta Canada. The lake releases Methane from the earth into the water, a process that cannot be witnessed at most times during the year. Only when the lake freezes during winter, for a short period of time, does the temperature drop cause the frozen water to surround, trap, and suspend thousands of Methane bubbles. This gives us the ability to witness nature in transition, and in this particular instance- how beautiful it is. With unforgiving temperatures as cold as -45 degrees Celsius, it makes observing this phenomenon challenging. The environment was harsh and isolating with high winds blowing off the snow that had settled on top of the lake, cutting across the polished surface to reveal the ice underneath. These cutting textures are visible in the images as if nature is painting on a canvas. Like much of my previous work, the photographs evoke a surreal quality, the three-dimensional effect occurs from the layers and depth of the ice. The revealing of this spectacle disappears with the ice, and as the weather begins to warm up again, the bubbles go back into hiding.
