Michael Campbell: Field Recordings of Icebergs Melting

by Jan Allen, Joanne Marion

Campbell’s flotilla of driftwood and scrap-metal vessels alludes to Victorian-era adventure narratives, 20th century industrial salvage, and the upheavals wrought by climate change. His work also echoes filmic and historical mythologies of battered ships, including the African Queen, the Civil war battleship Monitor, Franklin’s Erebus and Terror and the army of apocalyptic cars from the Road Warrior.
