Inspired by Ballard’s “The Crystal World”, Vonnegut’s “Cat’s Cradle” and Hiorn’s “Seizure” this is a developmental stage of a new project to make a form of “ice” that doesn’t melt, so that I might juxtapose or blend the seasons. This is a small frozen woodland pool, that someone might simply stumble upon, and which has a summer flower apparently trapped in thick and dense ice. The temperature is 20 C and thus, to the observer, the ice is a beguiling and crystaline paradox.
This has the feel of an embroidered flower on soft silk fabric – you make ice so seductive.
Thank you Julie. As always your comments are erudite and very much appreciated
I live in a country where summer never ends, so your title speaks to me volumes. Especially with these delicate images below.This is beautiful. I can’t wait to see more.
Thanks Isabelle. We visited Singapore whilst on our way to Sabah a few years ago and remember the heat!
