Snowmade. Made of snow, a short-lived element. The idea of networking our sculptures comes out from the need to stop this evanescence, but even more from the need to keep all that served as a frame to the achievement of our projects and that in many cases has revealed to be the most interesting and stimulating thing: travelling and meeting people.
The extension, now extreme, of the concept of art has enabled some of us, that hadn’t even tried to make a snowman in the garden of their house, to have the opportunity to deal with professional artists who, with their simplicity and modesty, have shared with us their art and helped us to become aware of our own art. Not least, the need to work hard and in very cold environments gave us the alibi to eat huge quantities of sweets which notoriously help to fight the cold and provide energy instantly.
