Observation 2.








Our windows have been covered in snow and ice for days on end... this experiment with melting and freezing, fluidity and colour, water moving through snow and the effect of ephemeral intervention is continually changing in our kitchen window.

The most interesting parts are where the ice and snow take on it's own initiative with the colour and you see it intertwined in tiny frozen icicles, or the colour being soaked in and moved around, or the light from outside shining through to give a glow and colour depth that changes with the sky. The snow sometimes melted away with the colour and left coloured ice formations in it's place that reflect light and change with the weather conditions also. The pockets of coloured water held underneath the ice hold their fluidity and you can see them moving sometimes. It will be interesting to see how the weather moves the work and changes the window over the coming days.
