The work above titled ‘Snow Drawing’ was made by San Francisco based artist Sonja Hinrichsen last month at Rabbit Ears Pass in Colorado. Hinrichsen is a land artist and photographer. This is an installation that is a reminiscent of Andy Goldsworthy’s land art or even Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty. The installation had five volunteers who helped Hinrichsen set her intricate spirals. For Hinrichsen, the open meadow was her canvas. According to Steamboat Today, Hinrichsen said that ‘the world is saturated with manmade projects. I don’t think I need to add more things to the planet.’ Moreover, the innovative artist said that it’s the impermanent nature of the project that intrigues her.
