Title: The Shapes of Snow

Artists: Bland Hoke and Terry Chambers

Date: 2013

Medium: Metal

Location: Snow King Resort, Jackson WY

Funded by: Snow King Resort (JMI Realty)

A steely Tetonscape greets guests upon arrival at Snow King Resort. The 85-foot-long metal mountain expanse was installed in the spring, 2013 by Terry Chambers of Custom Iron Design and Bland Hoke of Bland Design – a duo that has collaborated on multiple public art installations including “Snake River Reverse” at the Center for the Arts.

The Snow King panorama stretches from Death Canyon to Teewinot. Serendipitously, when guests approach the resort, the entrance gateway perfectly frames the Grand, and sunsets set the metal mountains afire.
