The original photographs of these twin boys date from ninety years ago. In 2016 I re-photographed them with a zoom lens, drawing out their visages beyond the frames. During a particularly cold snap in 2018, I submerged the prints in water and put them out on the balcony to ice over. The bubbles of trapped air and frosting and fissures developed over minutes and I photographed the successive stages of the prints’ passage into encasement in solid ice until my hands grew too numb to continue. Here the ice-bound images are re-submerged in water, bound each now back-to-back between two panes of glass, and the water seeping in slowly makes the images creep.
