Photograph by @simonnorfolkstudio “When I am Laid in Earth” … A visualisation of the receding Lewis Glacier on Mt. Kenya. A mapping of “time’s thickness” by pyrographically documenting glacial retreat.
Using long exposures made in the middle of the night, the resultant images stem from the simple act of walking with fire along the glacier’s previous boundaries - by working out GPS coordinates from old maps…
And fire, the primordial element that first provided a gathering point for human culture and, through the burning of fossil fuels, a rapidly changing climate.

The flame line in this image shows the Lewis Glacier’s location in 1987. The pond is called the Curling Pond. In 1987 it’s surface was 15m higher than it currently is, penned in by a high back-wall of ice - the glacier’s snout. The glacier has since receded about 120m.

I won a Sony World Press Award and a LensCulture Earth Award for these images that helped win a lot of publicity for Project Pressure, the small NGO who commissioned the original project.
