This One Stopped Me, Too

Veronica Szalus's Russian snowflakes

Another piece that stopped me in my march through Artomatic was Veronica Szalus's installation on the 11th floor. The title is the Russian word for snowflakes, which I would not know except for the serendipitous fact that I was touring through at the time with my friend, artist Richard Dana, who has a secret past involving the knowledge of Russian. There, now you all know. Just don't tell where you heard it. But I digress. The snowflakes are spheroids fashioned from what I think is that hardening bandage material that casts are made from. They are light, fragile, delicate - like snowflakes, in fact. Veronica placed some out on the balcony of the building where they have just begun to be dissolved by the rain - a process that I hope she documents.
