Patience and a steady hand
is the key to Adam's art
CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 12
Gelatin is heated slightly
when it is mixed with the
paint and it is then injected
into the channels cut in the
ice by the CNC -controlled
router. The channels are cut
at different heights allowing
two or more colors to be
applied without the chance
of one color leeching into
another.
The process calls for a lot
of patience, a steady hand
and an artistic eye to be suc-
cessful - attributes which
Adam has in spades. He also
has to watch the tempera-
ture of the paint / gelatin mix
carefully as it hardens as it
cools; and often has to place
the mix in a microwave oven
for a few seconds. If the mix
is too hot, it will melt the ice
or at worst, shatter it when
applied.
Movie stars, TV personali-
ties, athletes, musicians, pol-
iticians - past and present,
iconic buildings, historical
landmarks - you name it,
and Adam can produce a
library of designs he has pro-
duced over the years. Unfor-
tunately, Adam's art is very
much a short-term
production.
Anyone seeing ice and
snow art for the first time will
always ask how the paint
gets into the ice. 'Probably,
the same way the caramel
gets into that chocolate bar;
Adam explains.
