Selma Makela's Future Haunting at The Whitaker will include paintings developed from a rare collection of 19th-century glass slides of alpine climbers on Glaciers, as well as work derived from meteorological and geological phenomena.
The paintings reference multiple sources of imagery, including glimpses of the world as seen during travel, and also found through researching archival sources and ephemera.
Makela's work reflects upon concepts of distance and dislocation, both in terms of geological timelines - and also in terms of displacement and migration in a time of great uncertainty.
