Jim Schantz and Peter Bremers traveled to Iceland ’s Vatnajökull , the second largest glacier in Europe .

The two artists collaborated on “ Homage to the Glacier ,” a recent exhibition at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield , Massachusetts .

The sculptures range in size from 20 to 40 inches high and weigh over 100 pounds .

Bremers: I seek to express the way ice interacts with light, and to capture the structure of ice and the state of it melting.

Schantz: I was just thinking about the Hudson River painters in the 1850s . They could see that America was changing, whether they set out to document this primarily or to paint the beauty of the landscape.
