Our congratulations go out to Granger and Robert from Moorhead & Moorhead for their Ice Heart sculpture in New York’s Time Square. The entire 10 foot tall heart, timed for Valentine’s day, is constructed of masonry scaled blocks of ice, and designed to pick up the lights, colors and activity of Times Square.

Lerival’s favorite characteristic of the Ice Heart lies in its fleeting nature, matching its temporary status. In introducing the uncertain melting of the ice blocks as a key feature of the project, Moorhead & Moorhead have managed to turn a hindrance into an asset, adding an extra dimension through material innovation.
