A Printmaking Exhibition Inspired by Vanishing Glaciers and High-Alpine Landscapes

The Space Between is a printmaking exhibition inspired by expeditions into remote, high-alpine landscapes where glaciers are disappearing. In these environments, time feels suspended and conditions can shift quickly. Through field research on the Juneau Icefield in Alaska and Montana’s Beartooth Mountains, the work explores how memory, endurance and environmental change intersect.

Using screenprint and photopolymer processes, the artist translates glaciated terrain into layered images. These works respond to shifting weather, melting ice and subtle changes in the landscape. As a result, the prints move between documentation and interpretation. They capture moments of navigation, adaptation and quiet observation.

At its core, The Space Between focuses on what exists in between. It considers the space between past and present, permanence and loss. Ultimately, the exhibition reflects the emotional connections we form with places shaped by climate change and environmental change.

This printmaking exhibition was supported by the South Dakota Arts Council and Black Hills State University.
