\n\tCousins stated: \u201cAt school I was passionate about both art and maths. My heroes were visual people who seemed to see geometry and engineering in their work \u2013 Orson Welles, Paul Cezanne, etc. In the early 90s I discovered another one of that tribe, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, whose paintings analyzed glaciers like Cezanne\u2019s analyzed mountains. Decades later, at the Barns-Graham Trust, I discovered how prolific she was, how unstoppable, and fell in love with her work in a new way. Her visual thinking, her wanderlust and her dynamism excited me. Add in her synaesthesia and the near disappearance of the Alpine glaciers and you\u2019ve got a subject that\u2019s perfect for cinema. I had to make this film. Barns-Graham\u2019s work feels very contemporary to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

We are delighted to work with Reservoir Docs to bring this perfect marriage to audiences around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
