Look Closely

Our local museum is presently running an exhibit called “Vanishing Ice”. It’s a collection of art representing all things and all places ice and is very interesting. There are some paintings and some photographs all of which are beautiful, but this particular one caught my eye. The official explanation:

“Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake inspired Chris Jordan to create Denali Denial. The artist digitally transforms Ansel Adams’s image by incorporating thousands of GMC Yukon Denali logos to visualize six weeks of sales of that model SUV in 2004. Half of the logos have been changed to the word 'denial'. The irony of a pristine peak being the source of the name of a gas-guzzling vehicle becomes magnified by Jordan’s reinterpretation of Adams’s iconic image of wilderness."

I’m taking BlipBear to the exhibit tomorrow because there’s something there that I think will stir a little polar bear’s heart.
