An investigation on short lifespans and irreproducible moments. After many experiments melting a mixture of ice and ink, I discovered a new process of mark-making. When the ice of the blended mix ice melted, the ink separates and crystallizes into a unique shape. The term flother, meaning snowflake, is a hapax legomenon. This describes a word of which only one instance of use is recorded. The concertina publication evidences each individual flother, encapsulating one of them in a display to capture it’s decay.
