Jeppesen’s images of remote and rugged landscapes are imbued with a sense of tranquility, reflection, and contemplation. This search for spirituality found in seclusion also engages with the materiality and transience of photography as an object. The majestic glaciers of the Folded series (2014–present) are no exception. In this body of work, large-scale images of glaciers are divided into sections through subtle folding patterns. The artist printed the images on rice paper and folded
them multiple times, like a map. The delicate texture of the paper contrasts with the indestructible appearance of ancient rock formations.
By returning year after year to the same area—known as the Southern Ice Field in Patagonia—the artist not only tracks the subtle movements of the glaciers and their environment, but also his own internal evolution.
