My mother's back garden, February 2024 (a land art series through the Philippine seasons). The talisay tree is shedding leaves, so she thought she'd arrange them between the tree roots! She is collecting dried pine needles for the right side of the installation. #Philippines#LandArt
The Spiral Jetty, a large earthwork sculpture made by Robert Smithson in 1970. It is constructed of basalt rocks and extends into the northern end of the Great Salt Lake. Human for scale, if you can find them (near the center of the spiral).
Land art participatif : à l'aide de dizaines de volontaires, Sonja Hinrichsen crée des motifs en spirales et arabesques dans la neige, grâce à leurs traces de pas.
We just had our closing event for one of the most unique projects I've ever been involved with. 52 weeks of ephemeral land art by the inimitable Strijdom van der Merwe, made permanent in digital and print collections.
It has been an absolute privilege to work with Strijdom to explore the interplay between physical and digital art, and has changed the way I see the landscape around me.
For those who feel a need for a little protection, may this energy reach you. 💚 Nothing evokes Protection for me more than holly. An altar of stone, holly in three colours, and ivy. Should I have worn gloves? That would have been ideal. 😌 But I didn’t know I was making this until I started making it.
Autumn Equinox, my favourite holiday. May you find your balance between giving and receiving, between work and rest, between caring for others and caring for your self. May you find your balance in the dark, may you find it in the light, may you find it in the middle. 💚🐦⬛
Ok starting a new art thread for 2023! Here's the deal: a mostly daily thread with a different artist every day (sometimes I repeat from previous years if I feel like featuring other work/projects), primarily modern and contemporary since that's my thing. I'm even making a hashtag for it in case that makes it easier for folks to follow. Enjoy! #art#BigArtThread
"Homo Algus" sculptures by French artist Sophie Prestigiacomo, 2010s, made of mud and algae with metal armatures, placed within the Réserve Naturelle des Marais de Séné, a swamp near where the artist lives.
