Antarctic ice shelves

 …”the construction of a wall [that] describes a surface based on a recent photograph of Antarctica taken from space.

The surface is achieved by software, which reads ‘heights’ from tonal variations in the image. We would like to bring Antarctica with us, as representatives of the southern hemisphere. The form of the great ice continent will be readable in the wall sculpture, but creative ‘misreadings’ (akin to ‘reading’ clouds) will be most welcome too.”
