One Year Ago

It was one year ago that I began my artistic explorations in Newfoundland. This image remains locked in my mind, as it was the view from my cabin. I remember venturing upon the rocks past midnight to listen to it. Icebergs have a voice, a presence that is easy to personify.

A journal entry on May 25 reads
"The fog closed in last night at about eight. I sat watching the remains of an iceberg that disappeared before my eyes. The fog closed like a velvet curtain and twenty minutes later it opened again, but the iceberg had moved along on its journey, shielded by the veil of mist."

You might like to phone this iceberg up:

An underwater microphone inside Jökulsárlón, an outlet glacial lagoon of Vatnajökull filled

with icebergs calving from the glacier, connects to an amplifier and mobile-phone on land, which

creates a live phone-line to the glacier.
