Land Art
Land art is a site-specific process using natural materials - leaves, ice, stone, sticks - to explore change, time, and decay. It is often ephemeral, created outdoors to be transformed or erased by the ever changing rhythms of nature - wind, tides, melting, decay.
I first became aware of this art form through the work of Andy Goldsworthy, a master in this field. I am endlessly inspired by his work.
Below are some of my early attempts at interacting with nature in this way. I’ve also included a couple of examples of my explorations with yarn in nature - not strictly land art, but another way of working with natural materials outdoors.
