TARA WILKINSON I voICE
Photography+ Imagination

---

In 2023, ANDARA Gallery was pleased to present voICE, a solo exhibition by Canadian fine art photographer, Tara Wilkinson from her 1,322 KM journey circumnavigating Iceland’s spectacular Ring Road.
 
The work explored the raw and exquisite beauty of melting icebergs from Europe's largest ice cap, the Vatnajökull Glacier. Created through the compression of billions of snowflakes and volcanic ash, each piece of ice is exposing information about the earth’s past.
 
Through her series "ICE CUBES" … Tara took us even closer to view the suspended animation trapped in the glacial ice. Each macro photograph is printed onto thick 6” x 6” acrylic blocks. When backlit, each one-of-a-kind “ICE CUBE” is an illuminated work of art.
 
The exhibition included images from some of Iceland’s other diverse and spectacular landscapes – scorched deserts, lush valleys, majestic fjords and snow-covered mountains.

​The voICE of Mother Nature is ever present ... with every crack in the ice, carried on powerful winds through deep valleys, in the stillness of remote fjords, as the sun kisses the mountains goodnight, and as cascading waterfalls and streams pour over the landscape.

“As we crested a hill and I first saw the blue icebergs floating in the Jokulsarlon lagoon (Iceland’s deepest lake), my eyes flooded with tears. I had never seen anything in nature so astoundingly beautiful. We were soon bundled up in massive flotation suits and took a zodiac out to see them (and the colossal glacier they broke away from) ... up close. 
As I looked across the massive lake (that didn't exist 100 years ago) filled with icebergs ... and I looked way up at the massive ridge of the glacier looming above us like a skyscraper, I realized … we shouldn't be seeing this. We are all in an urgent race against time.

Can we hear the voICE? Is anybody listening?”

SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PIECES!

Great experience! I loved how the hosts ARE the artists that shared the story behind their works. So many beautiful pieces! I will definitely be back when I am in the area again to see what new treasures are on the walls.
