Gates of the Arctic

The film focuses on self sufficiency, preserving wilderness locations and history of locals in the Brooks Range. Gates of the Arctic : Alaska’s Brooks Range is produced by Alaskan Geographic which also sells another [...]

Tents – Arctic Oven

This is an artist that seems to always pop back into my mind because of the great use of steel as as a canvas. I actually caught her work at a show in Casper, Wyoming of all places and truthfully it was a great fit. Her subtile releif of paint + rust and the striations [...]
