Ice Drawing

The video and sculptural installation Ice Drawing 2012 is one component of Jonass masterwork installation Reanimation 2013 It features footage of Jonas creating an abstract drawing using ink and ice a gesture that she carries out live during the performance In the installation at the MFA the projectors light is refracted through a set of hanging crystals spilling throughout the gallery and onto our bodies Each fragment reveals all the spectral components of light including colors that are imperceptible to the human eye Implicated in the moment and connected by the refracted constellation we watch as the ink spills onto a pristine surface and ice melts
