Fear Not The Harsh Winter
Site Specific Installation
205 Hudson Gallery
Using a refrigerator door embedded into a wall, I created a passageway into a sealed-off room in the gallery. Metal bowls of different sizes were installed in a raised floor, and I removed the wall between the gallery and the street. Ice sculptures hang from the ceiling on retractable dog leashes. Depending on the weather outside, they swing and shimmy, melt into the bowls below, or refreeze into new stalactite shapes. As they melt, the leashes pull the ice toward the ceiling until it’s gone; on a warm day the work disappears, leaving behind only big bowls of dirty water.
