This visual essay presents drawings related to a research project that sought to develop a visual language that communicates the precarity of clothing items that have emerged from alpine glaciers in Europe. These artworks achieve a poetic effect that recalls the tensions and challenges of preserving these artifacts of glacial archaeology. This essay focuses on selected drawings of footwear from the exhibition Emergency! at Drawing Projects UK (November 10, 2022–February 4, 2023) and articulates how drawing was used as a form of touching to imaginatively translate the experience of encountering these items of footwear into artworks. The artworks offer an example of how artistic engagement with museum collections can generate a creative response to traces of the past and invite reflection on the future of our planet.

融化的记忆:冰制鞋履
这篇视觉文章展示了与一个研究项目相关的图画,该项目旨在开发一种视觉语言,传达欧洲高山冰川中出现的服装的不稳定状况。这些艺术品达到了一种诗意的效果,让人回想起保护这些冰川考古文物的紧张和挑战。本文重点介绍《紧急!》展览中精选的鞋类图画。在英国绘画项目(2022年11月10日至2023年2月4日)上,阐明了如何使用绘画作为一种触摸形式,以富有想象力的方式将遇到这些鞋类物品的体验转化为艺术品。这些艺术品提供了一个例子,说明博物馆藏品的艺术参与如何能够对过去的痕迹产生创造性的反应,并引发对我们星球未来的反思。
