Since 1976, Dan Snow has been hand-building unique drystone constructions for clients in New England and beyond. Dan Snow is an assemblage artist specializing in site-generated, or locally sourced, natural materials. His dry stone constructions have included stock-proof fences, pillars, stiles, staircases and arch bridges. More complex creations such as garden follies, grottoes and grandstands as well as environmental art pieces and figurative works of sculpture are part of his oeuvre. He often designs his landscape installations contextually, by creating a 3-D scale-model on site. In environmental art making, Snow strives to transfigure the essence of place into new forms and experiences through the manipulation of natural materials. From the practical to the fantastical, Snow's works in stone fuse vanguard vision with old world techniques and traditions. He has authored two books that tell the story of our heritage in stone and his personal journey in the art and craft of walling. He lectures and leads workshops and is the subject of the documentary film Stone Rising. He lives in Dummerston, Vermont.
