Inspired by The Innisfil Farmers Market, Fire and Ice depicts locally grown peppers - with the spotlight on hot peppers. Fire and Ice is a celebration of our town’s local farmers and growers. This ice hut is a bold, bright and exciting art experience that is best viewed from all sides; with a focus on its stunning contrast and balance. It depicts our local farmers and growers in a new light and provides you with a fresh perspective, with the goal of enticing our community as a whole to proudly purchase locally grown produce and recognize the important role that agriculture plays in our society.

In addition to showing pride for and celebrating of our local growers, Fire and Ice honours the ice hut itself and the practice of ice fishing, making the most of the playful juxtaposition of fire and ice. The fire aspect is visually apparent through the use of “spicy imagery” including depictions of numerous unique hot peppers and fiery flames. The ice aspect is represented by the act of ice fishing itself, the ground that it is painted
on (the ice hut) as well as select “icy” imagery. Fire and Ice incorporates the ice hut itself and pays homage to the artistic ground.

Through lighthearted and eye catching imagery, this “spicy” piece of art will fully immerse you and highlight the health, economic and environmental benefits of buying locally.
