Ice Paintings

Ice paintings - Dendrites at -5°C

 

Work currently under development if it gets below -5 degrees at night.

It involves riding a wave of crystallization as the paint freezes.

It's tricky work freezing your extremities off all night outside the studio in the adjacent courtyard. I wish the ice needles didn't like to gnaw my guiltless fingernails so enthusiastically!

Ice Paintings - Watercolour- Made through harnessing ice, executed at night in -5 degrees outside the studio.
