And, More Snow Circles! > This time by artist Sonja Hinrichsen


"These drawings were created with snowshoes in the Colorado Rocky Mountains (near Aspen) in February, March and the beginning of April. While some of them lasted for several days and changed / disappeared slowly through the influence of sun, wind and new snow, others only lasted for several hours, as new snowfall covered them, or the strong April sun consumed them rapidly." Sonja Hinrichsen






In her artist statement Sonja writes: "Lately my works have often included interventions or rituals that I perform in the environment. These are documented photographically and on video, which then becomes integrated in media installations. The traces left in the environment are non-permanent and any evidence will be erased by nature. While I like to unfold my work in large immersive experiences using digital media, I am not interested in creating lasting art pieces, as I believe that our world is over-saturated with man-made products. However, as an environmentalist I hope that I can inspire appreciation and awe for our natural world."
