Linking acts!

I found this work done by artist Sonja Hinrichsen on inhabitat.com and remembered one of the snow projects done by a student in class. I thought I would post the image taken from above so that everyone could see but another example of snow art.  Inhabitat, if it hasn't been mentioned in class is a great site which presents much of what we have seen in terms of alternative locations for art that does not harm the environment but in contrast compliments it.  I recommend checking it out!!

Talk about Re-Purposing!

Snowman Lust

I couldn't help but take notice of the plethora of snowman (sculptural) inspired artwork in the collective presentation Wednesday. Whilst searching, I found quick comics good for lighthearted reflection.

This is very cool, mopping up the bank (although not entirely sure as I don't speak German!).

Art in Snow and Ice

Andy Goldsworthy

Some examples of artists working with snow and ice.  Most well known likely is Andy Goldsworthy nearly all his work takes place in natural settings.  Click on the image to link to a page of his work dealing with "snow".
