This artwork, with nine others by printmaker and Clemson University professor Todd Anderson, comprise <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelastglacier.com\/\"><i>The Last Glacier<\/i><\/a> exhibit in Eastern Mennonite University\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/vaca\/galleries\/\">Margaret Martin Gehman Art Gallery<\/a>. It is on display through March 3.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Last Glacier <\/i>is a collaboration started by Anderson, with photographer Ian van Coller and painter Bruce Crownover, in 2010 to record the Glacier National Park in Montana. At the park\u2019s opening in 1910, it held 150 glaciers; now, there are fewer than 25, which are expected to be gone by 2020.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"highlight highlight-right\">Read <a href=\"https:\/\/spark.adobe.com\/page\/GodO6XlaoeCkX\/\">more<\/a> about Todd Anderson&#8217;s work.<\/aside>\n<p>When he heard about this decline, Anderson says, \u201cmy first thought was, I wonder which artists are documenting these glaciers.\u201d The answer was none. So in 2010, Anderson began a 500-mile journey hiking and climbing through the park to preserve the landscape through his art.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy core belief is that these types of places, wilderness, they need to be creatively seen and they need to be documented,\u201d said Anderson at the Feb. 3 gallery opening. About 70 people clustered around his woodcut reductions, which are made by a repetitive process of carving, inking and printing. The corresponding wooden block hangs by each piece. Each print took anywhere from four to thirteen \u201cruns\u201d to produce the final multi-layered image.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson\u2019s carving evokes the textures of rock, vegetation, ice and snow. His color palettes vary from subtle, otherworldly and nearly monochromatic to 10-color ranges reminiscent of early color photography.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31729\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31729\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2017\/02\/printmaker-documents-melting-wilderness-multimedia-exhibit-last-glacier\/glacier2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31729\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31729\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2017\/02\/glacier2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Artist Todd Anderson talks with attendees at the Feb. 3 opening of his exhibit.

My hope is that you can go to this actual location and look down on this particular glacier,\u201d he says, pointing to a print. Each of the works have corresponding GPS coordinates. \u201cI\u2019m really trying to create that experience where, the longer you look, you see more and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emu.edu\/personnel\/people\/show\/aw975\">Anna Westfall<\/a>, who curates the gallery, is responsible for Anderson\u2019s visit. Both she and Anderson earned MFA degrees at the University of New Mexico, though several years apart. A mutual acquaintance pointed Westfall to his work, which she thought would be of interest to the EMU community.<\/p>\n<p>Gallery assistant Hannah Eve, a senior at EMU, helped hang the show. \u201cThe shows that come in, they\u2019re all different, but this one has a special feel about it,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson and his collaborators are currently wrapping up projects in the Rocky Mountain National Park and at Mt. Kilimanjaro. The National Endowment for the Arts and South Carolina Arts Commission have helped fund their work, but Anderson says the collaborations are ultimately dependent on print and art book sales. Funding pending, Anderson\u2019s next artistic sojourn will take him to Antarctica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An alpine meadow stretches out in subtle shifts of green, interrupted by a stony path winding towards craggy mountains, which fade away into the ephemerally gradiated blue-and-yellow sky.
