 Walking the line between painting and photography, Untitled, from the Glacial Facade series, is an interpretation of an image taken from NASA flights over Greenland, portraits of Greenland’s deglaciated mountains shaped by millions of years of glacial and interglacial periods, but are rapidly exposed due to human-caused ablation of the ice sheets. 

Digitally sprayed with an acrylic onto the surface of the substrate, the materiality of the work becomes involved with the imagery through involving a printing process unique to Guariglia, gently pushing the image into abstraction, reminding us of the ambiguity that exists in the gap between that which we perceive, and that which exists. Once in the river, the ice begins its phase change to its liquid state as it’s swept into the world’s oceans.
