ROSE COLOURED GLASS PRODUCTIONS summons a journey to the land of the frozen north, long before man inhabited the Arctic Circle, where the Spirit of the Aurora Borealis reigns over the bitter cold ice cap of winter’s endless night. Kari Glass and Robin Rosemond’s ARCTIC ZODIAC art series colorfully transposes the familiar Chinese Zodiac story with regional twists on the twelve animal zodiac cycles. snow city cafe invites you in from the cold to rejoice and ring in the coming year of the WHALE while interactively locating where you and yours dwell in their spirited multimedia renditions of the ARCTIC ZODIAC.
