I wanted to share with all of you what I did on Friday Decemeber 2. This piece was done in Mendon Ponds Park, using materials found in the landscape as well as a found object that has been re-purposed as a compass. It evolved out of a piece I created on August 30th at Durand Beach, in another landscape and in another season, where land meets water.
I really love creating in this way, and I am very interested in land art/ environmental art; the name Andy Goldsworthy comes to mind as one of my favorite artists who work in this way, but I will be continuing to look at this type of art and artist. This exploration is one I plan on continuing throughout the quarter.
Are you aware of the Nazca Lines? Your kind of work but very old and much larger.(See video below) Also, look at Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty and Michael Heizer's Isolated Mass/Circumflex.

The use of different materials for each circle is effective in making them unique.
