Inexorable, Water’s Colours, 30″x 22″, Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia, Copyright 2019 “Inexorable”, impossible to stop or prevent. relentless, unstoppable, unavoidable, inescapable, inevitable, irrevocable; Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia, is one of a very few glaciers in the world that is still advancing. However, scientists are finding that it is losing thickness, the mass of the glacier is decreasing as global temperatures rise. I called my painting Inexorable for the relentless unstoppable force Perito Moreno is in nature, and for the human induced climate changes that are indeed facing the glaciers head on. Inevitable, inescapable, unavoidable? We need to change our impact on our only home. We need changes just as dramatic as would stop a glacier in its tracks. watercolour, 22″x30″, 2019 glacier; 250 sq km area, 30km long, about 74m high at the part of the ablation face in my painting.
