Firn
-
Description
Ruminating on changing weather patterns to produce a moment in time, John Muller’s Firn captures the quiet transformation of granular wetted snow forming into glistening ice. Rendered in textured white oil paint, applied in a uniform yet freehand manner, the canvas materializes in a pristine field imbued with subtleties between movement and stillness, light and shadow. A crack breaks through, emerging only to disappear slowly into the vast landscape.
