Arctic Claims

This project began in 2015 when I was invited to travel to the Arctic Station in Western Greenland, to observe and document climate research taking place within this remote landscape. Since then, I have travelled to Inuvik, Canada, to visit the Arctic Research Institute, the Canadian Research Satellite Station and the Distance Early Warning Line in Tuktoyatuk. 

Within this series, the landscape is depicted not as an untouched vista but as an active site for scientific assessment, international collaboration and contains traces of Indigenous knowledge and Western scientific fieldwork . This project was the start of my Arctic research and is intended to not only document Arctic research but to demystify its procedures. Arctic Claims examines scientific sites as sources for creative thought, universal understanding and new ways of viewing the Arctic.
