The Canadian artist Ella Morton draws on a range of alternative and experimental photographic techniques to depict the frozen landscapes of the Arctic. In so doing, she seeks to go beyond the evidential presumption of the photographic image. To destabilise its surface, corrupt its chemistry, and create within this restive visual space a delicate sense of vulnerability. Of mountains and forests that might ripple and float away, as though the physical certainty of the world is nothing more than a veil already slipping from our fingers. From Nunavut to Spitsbergen, and Iceland to Finland, her images poignantly evoke the subtle grandeur of these places while reminding us of their inherent fragility.
Ella Morton discusses her poetic visualisations of the Arctic at Talking Pictures.
