Dan Snow is an art maker in the outdoors. In broad terms, his work is classified as found-object assemblage. Dry laid stone construction is the mode of making he employs to devise site-specific works of environmental art. He combines mastercraftman skills with sculptural artistry to bring new geologic forms into the natural world. The works stand alone as sculpture, and come alive when engaged by visitors to their environs. Many pieces are large enough to be walked through and climbed upon, inviting the same participation as do their greater surroundings. Snow’s forty year career of creating in stone has taken him to 13 states and 8 countries. When he and his wife (and project manager) Elin Waagen aren’t traveling for public and private art commissions they reside in Vermont where Snow was born and raised. After attending Pratt Institute and assisting sculptors in New York for four years he returned home to begin making both practical and purposeless stone constructions.
