Chip Freund Photography is proud to have two works selected for the Earth First juried exhibition at the Floyd Center For The Arts. This exhibition aims to explore and celebrate the central theme of Earth stewardship and sustainability.  Discover how artists from across the country explore themes of sustainability, connection with nature, upcycling media, coordination and relationships between species, climate dialogue, and more through various media. Earth First will highlight the delicate balance between human existence and the natural world as seen through environmental consciousness.

My accepted works:

Vanishing Ice

A double exposure created by overlaying an image of the Blue Glacier taken in July 1982 with one taken in July 2022. The substantial loss of glacier ice can be seen with careful inspection. As with so many changes resulting from climate change, the impact can only be seen over the span of time.


“i” is for information

At first glance it's a striking image of a beautiful sunset. But once presented with information, you can drawer your own conclusions as to how beautiful it really is. The red sky and crisp edges to the sunbeam were caused by smoke from the burning of a sugar cane field near Lake Okeechobee, FL.

The Museum of Life and Science in Durham as a part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) bold campaign to protect 30% of Earth’s land, waters, and oceans by 2030, challenged area artists to harness art’s power to inform, educate and inspire by submitting works to 30×30: Art, Nature, and Science Exhibition. Entries in this juried exhibit convey a love of and concern for the natural world and inspire advocacy for protecting land, air, water, and our rich biodiversity.  The exhibition runs from Saturday, March 25, 2023, through Sunday, July 16, 2023.

I am honored to have my first work Vanishing Ice included in this exhibition. It is the first print from my Blue Glacier Then & Now project.

Artist’s Statement

I spent the summer of 1982 working alongside the Blue Glacier in Olympic National Park as a part of a Student Conservation Association backcountry trail crew. The experience left an indelible mark on my heart, mind, and soul. I had longed to return to that special place before it is changed forever, and the fortieth anniversary of my time on the mountain provided the perfect opportunity. In July 2022 I returned to the glacier to recreate a number of the images I had taken four decades earlier for my project Blue Glacier Then & Now.

Vanishing Ice is a double exposure created by overlaying an image of the terminus of the Blue Glacier taken in July 1982 with one taken from the same location in July 2022. I reduced the opacity of the top image layer so that both images are visible. The substantial loss of glacier ice can be seen with careful inspection. As with so many changes resulting from climate change, the impact of glacier ice loss is hard to see in the short term, but the long-term consequences will be severe.

We are mindful that there still remain pandemic concerns, so we will continue the modification from last year to the number of artists at each location to allow for better social distancing. We also had many positive comments about the more spacious feeling of the event.

So once again we will be able to celebrate visiting with artists, neighbors and the general public as we all enjoy the talents of a wide variety of artists. ArtWalk remains a juried show, which means artists are reviewed for quality, variety and originality.

Each year the Fine Arts League of Cary holds its annual member show to highlight the best work being done by F.A.L.C. members. This juried exhibition is on display at the Page-Walker Arts & History Center from November 9th through January 3rd. The exhibition is free and open to the public during normal operating hours.

My piece Time Tunnel was accepted for this year’s show. It is a long-exposure black and white photograph of the Tybee Island Pier, in Tybee Island Georgia. With the camera firmly mounted to a tripod the shutter was left open for 4 seconds allowing the motion of the waves to blur the water into a soft almost fog-like texture.

Show Juror: Jean Grunewald.

The festival features a juried Artists’ and Crafts Court with over 100 regional artists displaying and selling their work.
