video art, 2:31 min.
" Northern Glacier/Skeena is an audiovisual piece that is meant to reinforce the already strong link between glaciers and rivers, (and therefore fauna and at some point, us/community). It's about the slow, repetitive, and meditative qualities of the cycles of life/death initiated by winter. ”
