Statement


Ice Cavern is one of a series of experimental structures constructed using ice and fabric. The use of ice as a construction material means each structure only physically exists for a matter of just days or hours. The fabric is then salvaged, dried out and used again to explore a different form. The works are intentionally fragile, both structurally and environmentally. They act to remind us that wild places are there for us to enjoy providing we don't upset nature's equilibrium. Individually and collectively the works embrace the ethos of leave only footprints, take only memories.
