This is the story of a remarkable artist and a magnificent obsession, invoking themes of neurodiversity, feminism and climate change. One day in 1949, a young Scottish painter climbed a Swiss glacier. The experience rewired her brain, and transformed her art. She spent the rest of her life painting it.
Mark Cousins immerses the audience in this life-changing encounter between the glacier and the unusual brain of a 20th century Scottish woman, the artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham.
