De St. Croix often uses recycled materials in his work to call attention to the man-made objects clogging our environment. By keeping these materials in circulation rather than in landfills, he creates ecologically responsible sculptures. Cold Front is no exception, as the glimmering ice-like surface is actually made of shredded plastic bottles. Onto this façade is projected a moving glacier engulfing the visitors’ visual field.
