Here we are at Day Four! The progress among the artists is varied, although the vision and planning is evident in all 24 sites. There are two days left in this six-day event, and the weather has been quite agreeable, minus a bit of wind. Throughout my journey with Ice Alaska, several artists have mentioned that -10 to +10 is the perfect weather for sculpting. Luckily Mother Nature has, for the most part, been kind. I had to work yesterday and was unable to stop by the park, but I did keep track of the progress online at icealaska.com (more specifically 2009 Multi-Block Classic Webcams) and clicking in every few hours to see the changes. Heather Brice, a local artist, is featured above.
The Single-Block sculptures are holding up nicely - I highly recommend that you stop by an
d see them both during the daylight hours and at night. The picture here is of "Beautiful Chemistry" and was taken by Kathy McBride, one of the volunteers. Don't forget... these sculptures were created from just one block of ice. Imagine what can be constructed using ten blocks!
