People's connection with the land is a vital relationship; "We worship and loath it, sanctify and destroy it." Kastner and Wallis, (1998). In landscape we see the space which we occupy and we also see ourselves, in what we do to that landscape. My land art will trace the route of the River Fal, a vital piece of water from the beginning of man's occupation of the area. The natural environment of the river; its geology and ecology, has been fundamentally affected by man's activities within that landscape. But instead of walking the route as Richard Long might do, or leaving ephemeral pieces created out of driftwood or rubbish washed onto beaches, my art will invite people to visit and to comment on the landscape and on pieces which I have placed along the way. It will be those visits which create the finished art. UNLESS YOU WALK MY ART WILL NOT EXIST! Watch this blog for the development of the pieces and of the route which you must walk to create my art works....... all in good time!
I'm watching ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that this interesting artistic concept does not include a static sculpture formed from a beached Marieholm. However should you wish to create a very temporary and in all probability verbally vibrant sculpture along such lines especially during the 2011 or any of the following Marieholm championships then I would be pleased to assist with its placement or at least be present for the event.
