Nicole Dextras has done a set of ice sculptures based on typography. This is from her statement:
The Ice Typography series consists of three-dimensional words fabricated in ice placed outdoors that speak to how the viewer’s gaze frames and informs the landscape. The installations have varied from 8-foot high ice letters on the Yukon River to 18-inch high letters set in downtown Toronto. When the ice texts are installed on site, the temperature determines how long it will take for them to change state from solid to liquid. This phase of transition becomes symbolic of the interconnectedness of language and culture to the land as they are affected by time and by a constant shifting and transforming nature.
Lots more on her website, linked above, and I had previously linked to her dresses encased in ice and that certainly warrants a re-visit. I LOVE this work, makes me want to go hmmmmmm...
