“Artist Simon Beck must
really love the cold weather! Along the frozen lakes of Savoie, France, he
spends days plodding through the snow in raquettes (snowshoes), creating these
sensational patterns of snow art. Working for 5-9 hours a day, each final piece
is typically the size of three soccer fields! The geometric forms range in
mathematical patterns and shapes that create stunning, sometimes 3D, designs
when viewed from higher levels. How long these magnificent geometric forms
survive is completely dependent on the weather. Beck designs and redesigns the
patterns as new snow falls, sometimes unable to finish a piece due to
significant overnight accumulations . . .”
