Glacial flow, 2019

"This glacier-shaped book unfolds into the form of a snow-covered mountain receding into the distance. It uses a combination of wire-edge binding and handmade brass hinges. The project uses glacial flow and glacial recession as metaphors for understanding personal change and for coming to terms with the internal transformations, metamorphoses, repetitions, and losses in our lives. It presents ideas of geology and the self [as] intertwinted, mirrored, and inextricably linked, suggesting that by knowing the land we inhabit, we can better come to know ourselves"--Artist's statement.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
