Snow Art

When many people think of art they think of the known and famous artists with big paintings and other important works of art, permanent and unchanging. When someone says snow, children think of a play thing and adults find it a nuisance. But people do not often think of the two words together.  Sonja Hinrichsen creates these massive snow drawing pieces by using snow shoes. 

"I’m generally not interested in creating lasting art pieces, as I believe that our world is over-saturated with man-made products," she says, "I like to unfold my work into large experiences, however I prefer work that lives on in its documentation only, 

and--hopefully--in the memories of my audiences."

This is a completely different take on the traditional way that people perceive art. She knows that her pieces wont last long but she still wants to make an impact on her audience.
