snow pallet
sapporo art park, japan
on now until march 7th, 2012japanese artist toshihiko shibuya has used the winter climate of hokkaido, japan to create 'snow pallet', an installation currently
on exhibit at sapporo art park. the long winters on the island bring lots of precipitation, covering the terrain in white.
to bring color to the landscape, shibuya has used iron disks painted in vivid colors. placing these saucers on different
height supports, the hues are mirrored off the snow at various intensities. the work is in a constant dialogue with nature
as the amount of snowfall, ice, and lighting conditions effect the quality of the reflection.
