Isbjørn! was conceived during a trip to the High Arctic in the autumn of 2012 when I was a member of The Arctic Circle Expedition, an artistic residency programme aboard the 50-metre tall ship SS Antigua. The work was inspired by the northern landscapes and maritime settings. For those of us on the expedition, the polar bear became a mythical creature; we were aware of its existence, but it was not until the final days that we actually encountered one. As a result of global warming, the fragile polar habitats are at risk, and the future of this magnificent animal is uncertain.
