Snowflakes at Last?
After a few weeks of toying with temperature gradients, moisture levels, electricity and other aspects of his snowflake grower, Gledhill finally achieved snowflake-like growth at the tips of ice spikes.
While not the ideal shape he originally envisioned, he said the forms should be good enough to proceed with shooting Ryan Teague's music video (for the song "Cascades").
"I'll keep tweaking things, but as long as I can grow beautiful crystals, it really doesn't matter," Gledhill said. "It's a lot of fun to record this process, which is invisible to the average person. The ability to show that to people in an artistic way brings me a lot of joy."
