Ice Painting
Artist Dorota Borowa shared her unique technique of creating painting with ice in this workshop at SUBMERGE. Beginning with a short introduction into the technique and her past work, she inspired participants to try it out for themselves. The paintings created by the participants were then displayed in the exhibition gallery. Check out the complete blog by Mediator Nomaan here.
