This artist presented some very curious sculpture and photography at the Chicago Artopolis Art Fair.   He filled these very traditional, rather ubiquitous snowdomes with snowy landscapes he creates in minute detail.  This one is of a woman confronting a giant man leaning against a tree.  The attention to detail is  very refined.  I would’ve enjoyed watching the casual observer take a quick second look at these domes while walking through the show.  There is so much artwork that screams for your attention that something like a snowdome goes unnoticed…until…. you really notice it.

The artist photographs the snowdomes and enlarges the image to the point where the whole perspective changes and we see these rather surreal, dreamlike creations become huge images.  Almost like a part of one of our dreams exposed, photographed, and mounted.

This snowdome has a man rounding a bend coming across rather large footprints in the snow, certainly not an everyday occurrence.  So is this about some person drama of confronting a possible threat or simply the humor in the possibility of really finding huge footprints on a snow trail ?
