Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese are sure to succeed in getting the message across. They created powerful metaphors out of those ice sculptures.
Like it or not, it’s sure to be embedded in the consciousness of the politicos. (Artists are the best at doing this.)
This is rich and that’s not meant to be a pun. I’m looking forward to more text-based, socially significant, politically charged work from Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese. Kudos to them for dropping this on us. Kudos to you for sharing it.
