'Ice Field' engages the framework of scientific ‘fieldwork’, where observation and data collection can provide insights into specific environments. ‘Fieldwork’ as a methodology allows for scientific theories to be tested within real-world environments. 'Ice Field' adopts this concept but employs an artistic approach to create a range of site-specific experiments within glacier environments. The project surveyed two glaciers; Haupapa – Tasman and Te Moeka o Tuawe – Fox. Specifically for this investigation, large-scale photograms were used to test how the methodology of fieldwork could be explored photographically. ‘Ice Field’ uses the photogram process to expose the connection between light-sensitive material and the very structural/sculptural elements that make up the unique landscape of a glacier. The resulting images are a consequence of a reaction between the physical forces; water, ice, and light.
