A few samples from the photo journal I made of this Installation.
Red wool is used to suspend ice from the branches of a tree. the significantly larger ice sculpture is featured at the base of the tree with multiple red strings reaching up and around the tree to reach the single string ice sculptures hanging from above.
This next experiment continued with freezing water in balloons however, this time a few were mixed with red or blue poster paint. These sample photographs were taken over a period of 24 hours.

This video is Untitled 2015. It shows a time lapse video of a ball of ice being held until it has completely dripped away. The video references endurance due to the freezing and numbing effect of the ice on human flesh – the ice had to be held for over 45 minutes – it also references temporary life due to the constant drops of water as the ice melts away.
Starting to look at temporary art, I decided to work in the medium of ice. My first experiments consisted of filling balloons with water and freezing them before peeling off the balloon skin.
