Not With A Bang But A Whimper is an exhibition of photographs focusing on the potential end of the world’s glaciers. It is a photographic story about a Fall 2022 voyage to the South Sawyer Glacier in the Tracy Arm of the Inside Passage. The story begins with a visual description of the environmental context for the voyage, then introduces the dangers posed by global warming, and ends with illustrations of the environmental entropy created by our vanishing glaciers. This exhibition is accompanied by a photographic essay Not With A Bang But A Whimper: Climate Change and Our Vanishing Glaciers, copies of which are available for gallery visitors to read as they view the exhibition’s twelve photographs.
