Gunnie Moberg Swans on Stenness loch

Winter has made herself known in Orkney this week.

We happen to have opened a box of photographic prints from the Gunnie Moberg Archive with these two ice studies.

A sepia image of ice in curling patterns drawn towards a clump of a plant.

Gunnie Moberg: images of ice scanned from test prints

A frozen puddle traps air beneath the surface creates an ice drawing.

And these three ice picks are well known images of Gunnie’s. They appear in Pictures & Poems.

Small pebbles trapped in clear ice are ringed with white whisping ice.            seven white chrysanthymum type flower heads sit on frozen water, the water has thawed a long shape in the middle and two petals float with the flower heads on the free water, the remaining ice creates lines like frozen ripples
