An Age of Ghosts, by K.Verell
An Age of Ghosts is an artistic research project that explores Antarctica's seas and ice as sites of memory, loss, and transformation. Developed during the 2023-24 Antarctic Arts Fellowship aboard the RSV Nuyina, the work emerged from the rhythms of the Great Southern Ocean and the spectre of extinction.
The project questions witnessing a disappearing world, especially one that is not always seen or acknowledged. It explores the echoes of glaciers calving, sea ice drifting, and rising CO2. The work is a shrine for a reimagined future, reframing ecological grief and shifting us from stasis to allow us to feel what data alone cannot.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
