What portents must you divine when a knife falls from the sky into your snow-covered yard? From the bitumen hills of Fort McMurray to the barren reaches of Iceland, Knife on Snow depicts an earth bathed in dragon’s breath, where like the Norse gods bound to their fate, we stand transfixed by the consequences of our actions, both driver /and passenger— part-cause / part-witness of earth’s unwinding. Yet in Alice Major’s expert hands, history, myth, and science converge to yield an evolution, a discovery, an acceptance of struggles' end and the possibility of a tomorrow unknown.
