land art

richard long: a line made by walking

As I've mentioned I'm currently working on my thesis in Landscape Architecture. Yesterday I was researching land artists and came up with some amazing finds that I thought I would share here. Take a look and follow the links to find out more about the artists and projects. These are all so evocative and so powerful. I won't go into the details of the role they play in my project here, but the images and projects were just too exciting not to share. Wrapped Coast is by far my favourite. It's absolutely surreal. I wish I could've walked on that shoreline. Alas, I was -12 years old at the time.
