Land Art

Having been inspired by Andy Goldsworthy, a land artist who I blogged about on May 19th, I decided to create something of my own using materials in my yard.

Many of Andy Goldsworthy's works are temporary pieces of art which change or dissove with the environment. I hope that the land art piece I created today will age with grace.

This is the first rendition:


As much as I liked the texture and color of the arbor chips, I decided it needed more definition. I added gravel and small stones. Which version do you like?

    Perhaps both, creating a design with them? Maybe put the chips in a circle with the stones surrounding...or...

    Another environmental artist blogger is Richard Shilling, who does stunning sculptural work.
