Stories of Ice will be on view from June 10 through August 5.

New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art’s open hours are Tuesday – Saturdays, 10 am – 5 pm CT.
In Metaphorical Antipodes: Stories of Ice, Jacinda Russell combines three bodies of work that
document time, environments, and loss. Through photography and sculpture, each series records a different element of the rapidly-changing landscape in the polar regions. Utilizing precarious materials and embracing moments of denied access, Russell’s process reflects both the beauty of the planet and the ever-present feeling of powerlessness to protect it.
