Ice Stories: Digital Prints

To create her Ice Stories, artist Lisa Sheirer takes photographs of natural landscapes through ice coated windows, then manipulates them to create abstracted compositions. Minimalist in shape, but complex in their detail, Sheirer sculpts the images digitally in order to accentuate the symmetry and repetition found in the pattern of the ice crystals. The Ice Stories radiate the natural color of the landscape and appear illuminated from within. No longer resembling a traditional landscape, Sheirer’s abstract forms instead exude the inner energy of the landscape.
