A good work is the right thing in the right place
at the right time - Richard Long
dailymade #120905 |
Prompted by my recent foraging and
weaving activities last week (see previous post) and a proposal I am working on
at the moment for a show at the Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, I am
looking at
dailymades produced in the
Calanques in Marseille six weeks ago. Reading Land Art by Ben Tufnell at the time framed my thinking.
My concern
was this: making a direct response to site and found materials through weaving and other related processes. Rather than expand on this,
I’d like to let the images below and quotes from the land art masters themselves do the speaking.
‘One of the problems in sculpture is contact, the idea alone
isn’t enough, it doesn’t work, an action is necessary. This action is
transmitted through contact.’ - Giuseppe Penone
‘My art is a way of learning, in which instinct guides
best. It is all very physical – I
need the shock of touch, the resistance of place, materials & weather, the
earth as my source. It is a collaboration, a meeting point between my own and
earth’s nature’ - Andy Goldsworthy
‘Work is not in the place, it is the place.’ - Michael
Heizer
