Shop windows flicker with television pictures of men on the moon. It is my first day at the National Gallery School of Art, Melbourne.
I lived with my grandmother that year. She had a student lodger who was studying glaciology and then went to Antarctica.
Over dinner he talked about the ice.
It was a life-changing moment, in retrospect, propelling me to make art and to seek my own limits.
I painted this picture.
This moment now feels like a premonition, as I traveled to Antarctica as an artist with the Australian Antarctic Division in 2002, and fell in love there, with a man and with the landscape.
