Creative Approach

Artist | Videographer | Editor —A self-directed, self-funded, and self-powered two-week creative residency at Denali Base Camp in Alaska featuring the works of Rachel Heckerman (film), Rose McAdoo (dessert), and Klara Maisch (painting). Each artist has a unique creative goal at base camp and hopes to be challenged by the extreme surroundings of camp. United by a passion for science communication and working on location, they collectively document the creative challenge of making art in response to the environment.

Klara Maisch's focus was on painting an 8-foot mural of the North Buttress of Begguya, part of the Alaska Range while facing the challenge of painting in unfavorable weather conditions for the majority of the trip. Photo by Rose McAdoo

Rose McAdoo baked eight desserts inspired by glacier science and created a four-tier cake, which she shared with climbers at Base Camp when they were weathered in for a few days.
