Picking up where I left off yesterday back at Winterlude 2016. Watching the carvers at work is a benefit to living here.
One of the larger stand-alone sculptures that year was a wall of ice, with photographs embedded within. The theme was life in Canada's far north.
Another large sculpture was done for the National Research Council, a government organization that conducts scientific research and has its headquarters here.
It is amazing that so many people are able to make ice sculptures.
ReplyDeleteA serious sculpting work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ice sculptures, and very talented artists!
ReplyDeleteGreat art. So sad it´s gone already, glad you have pics to share!
ReplyDeleteEven though the ice sculptures do not last, the sculptors are diligently in creating amazing sculptures and showing off their talented skills.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even know where to start.
ReplyDeleteCold work, sad it never can survive...
ReplyDelete@Linda: I agree.
ReplyDelete@Italiafinlandia: very much so.
@Sami: thank you.
@Iris: they are short lived.
@Nancy: that is quite true.
@David: I'd be out of my depth.
@Marianne: alas, that's true.
Trabalhos fantásticos em gelo.
