Nicole Dextras

"Ephemeral art is by its very nature impermanent.

Dextras works with organic materials to create

outdoor installations that will with time disintegrate

and return to the earth. The photograph is the only

permanent trace of the artwork’s transitory existence.

These images speak to the temporal quality of our

lives and our relationship to the environment.

There are two main bodies of work, which follow the

seasons: Iceworks winter, a series of works in ice

and snow and Weedrobes summer, sculptures

made with leaves and twigs."
