Ottawa, January 2025 –
“Peyto Glacier” marks UN International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation
This newly released sculpture is part of the Earth, Air, Fire and Water Collection of Leslie Hossack’s series INFERNO. These works expose objectively measurable aspects of climate change such as retreating glaciers, hazardous air quality, unprecedented wildfires, soaring temperatures, melting polar ice, and rising sea levels. Although these works are abstract, they are accurate representations of scientific records.
“Peyto Glacier” is fabricated from 27 separate pieces, each of a different height. These represent the cumulative mass balance of this Canadian reference glacier for the years 1996 through 2022 (relative to 1995).
