About “Weatherman”

“Weatherman” is a series of interactive art sculptures mimicking familiar man-made massing around the scenery along the Red River Mutual Trail - Snowman. The scale of weathermen varies from 5 feet tall non-occupiable objects to 10 feet tall pavilions with hollow structure inside, which can be occupied by people and function as warming huts.

Composed of sculpted and stacked insulation foams inside and plaster coating outside, weathermen are painted in various colors in warm tone palette. Introduction of warming palette of color in barren, frigid environment enlivens the site with visual and physical presence of warming huts.

“Weathermen” are laid out in a simple 4 x 4 grid where they are all positioned on same ground elevation at the beginning of the installation. As snow piles up around the installation during winter storms, visitors can speculate amount of precipitation by using weathermen as a measuring tool with familiar human scale.

Strategically placed mundane objects recreated in unexpected scale and color can bring out curiosity and resurface one’s childhood winter memories. “Weathermen” aims to become a colorful warming hut invoking visitors’ past memories and creating new ones simultaneously.

About Jaemee Studio

Memory is a valuable tool to recapture the delight moment of nostalgia. It is such a powerful yet complicated database that can transcend people to recreated recollection of comfort, pleasure, even sorrow and terror. Our works often play with inspiration from found objects that trigger memories by exercising the use of arrangement, juxtaposition, shift in scale, color, and use of extraordinary materials. We tend to make interactive and occupiable design structure or landscape field that offer visitors accessible ways to engage with surrounding landscape, people, and their own memories.
