Diane Burko: Vast and Vanishing

Environmental artist Diane Burko has been documenting glacial recession since 2013 as part of her ongoing work that intersects art and science around the urgent issue of climate change.

In this exhibition, we present a series of large scale paintings and photographs that are visual examples of the dichotomy of beauty and desolation.

Diane Burko’s art focuses on monumental geological phenomena. To that end, she has investigated locations on the ground and in the air from open-door helicopters and planes with cameras and sketchpads. Traveling from the temperate zones of America to Western Europe, from rainforests to glaciers and active volcanoes below the equator, her art merges a vision that is at once panoramic, intimate and sometimes provocative.
