In conversation, people have a variety of reactions when the word POLAR is mentioned. Its definition is varied and as such, it can be used to convey many different meanings.
Whether reveling in the landscape majesty of the far north or pausing to contemplate the impending disaster of their melting ice caps, Contextural artists have conjured imagery to convey their thoughts and provoke discussion of the polar environment. “In this large expanse of far-off glacial waters, there is magic to be found.”
Polar events can be described as pivotal – a central axis around which all else revolves. Polarizing opinions deal with opposite views on a particular topic.
Living in a country that is familiar with terms like “polar vortex”, we are only too familiar with the associated forbidding weather and extreme cold!
