Ice Tree 2010.mov

If you are wondering how this "Ice Tree" is created, it is quite simple. It basically a heated hose running up into the tree with a sprinkler head on the end. All it takes after that is some really cold temperatures.
Sometimes I need to move the hose around, because the ice ends up building a "shell" around the sprinkler head, so all the water end up channeling straight to the ground.
This year I also incorporated some fun lights into the ice. They provide some structure for the ice to form on, but they also add some really cool effects.
Please feel free to share your photos of the tree on the my wall.
or you can visit www.andrewsmithart.com to see my sculptures, and other projects.
Thanks
