Snow Piles of the Upper Mississippi by Matt Fluharty from Art of the Rural
Snow Piles of the Upper Mississippi is a photography and public art project that focuses on the most ubiquitous, temporary, and under appreciated sculptures of winter. Through documenting hundreds of snow piles in Winona during the last five years, Matthew Fluharty has created a playful and strangely illuminating look into how everyday life (and the landscape of Winona) is shaped through the work and creativity of its citizens. This exhibit will also feature photographs from the Museum’s archive that illustrate the cultural and historical contours of winters past in Winona.
