The lifetime of snow drawings is determined primarily by the temperature of its environment. The difficult part of snow drawing is its impermanent nature as it gets erased whenever there is snowfall or a gusty wind. San Francisco based artist, Sonja Hinrichsen loves the cold weather and spends a good time around the Rabbit Ears Pass in Colorado, plodding through the snow, creating these large scale astounding patterns of snow art with generous assistance of five volunteers.
According to designer the piece of art was created by individuals using there footsteps. Sonja was imbued by Jim Denevan, an artist who makes temporary drawings on sand, earth and ice that are eventually erased by waves and weather. The pictures here reveal that most of her designs comprise of several interconnected spirals, varying in size and proportion.
The designer also told that she was not interested in making art which lasts forever. She feels the world is filled with too many manmade projects and the planet needs a respite from that.
The project was primarily taking place at the nature conservancy land, but due to dry weather and less snow the project was shifted to Rabbit Ear Passin Colorado. However, the artist has also worked on similar projects across countries like New York and Aspen.
