This is a large scale snowman that is installed in a public
place
overnight. The completed figure is only uncovered, and fully
revealed following a period of heavy snow. The true joy of
the
indominable snowman is that he never goes away. His frosty
exterior conceals a refrigerated shape that
remains
perpetually frozen, the cooling apparatus hidden inside the
plinth on which he stands. As the weather warms, he will
glisten and sweat buckets of cold water, like the melting
icebergs of Greenland, but he never disappears. Spectators
will cool
their hands and feet in the water of the shallow moat that
begins to
surround his base, and stare up in wonder at the defiant
snowman resisting the mid-summer heat of a warming world.
