I could actually see the sprinkler with the lights from my studio and the metal shop behind it! Things are cracking and groaning under the weight of the ice and the sprinkler is still oscillating like it’s totally normal.
Sprinkling the Snow
I’ve created my own ice storm within the snow storm we’re having.
The sprinkler had been oscillating for about an hour an a half when these pictures were taken. It’s dark now, so I will have to wait until morning to see what has happened in the hour and a half afterward.
Sisyphus’ plight once again visits my work creating a narrative where work is being done unnecessarily and constantly. From this needless watering (where no kids are playing and no grass is being nourished) a ring has begun to form and harden on the ground and the trees have begun to crystalize.
I may want to find a space that you are more able “enter” so that the experience is less escapable. I have also been wrestling with what to freeze in there. Strings could be beautiful, objects could hover and solidify nicely. It’s a time capsule. I will put some more time into solving this! I know it can be done!
