Big Blue Melt are works that have been created with pigment pencils and ice. Peerna starts the drawings by first marking vertical pigment lines onto plastic paper. She then methodically applies water or ice, causing the lines on the surface to melt and drip. The drawing only stops making itself when the water has dried. The resulting drip marks on the works capture the moment when solid turns into liquid, drawing a visual parallel to the moment when ice melts into water. This series becomes a visual response to the rapid glacier melt around the earth due to the warming climate. less
