Ice Art

I have always loved ephemeral art made in nature, and I recently discovered Jim Denevan and his most recent work created on Lake Baikal in Siberia. He and his small team (including a documentarian and photographer) set off to the largest lake in the world to create a vast Fibonacci spiral of concentric circles, making the largest piece of artwork yet created on land. Amazingly they used only large brooms to make the circles, revealing beautiful geometric ice below.

To my surprise, the store Anthropologie commissioned Jim to do artwork for them, and that is where I found (and purchased) the book, Lake Baikal. For once I can say that now I don't feel as guilty for purchasing things there... they commission tons of artists, and so I tip my hat.
