Some of us bring the outdoors inside of our homes, offices and other buildings in the form of art that we have created or acquired and others make the world their canvas. This may confusing to you but we are talking about stunning land art installations that make the art part of the landscape but still leaving you with the genius behind the art. Stunning land art installations require a lot of details like these most detailed cake art examples like never seen before. This kind of art is the reverse of superb landscape art (though both are very stunning) to keep the outdoors with you at all times.

09-17-2019. At this point in time, the links on this post are no longer working. I cannot locate the artist David Digapony online now, and I've searched using multiple search engines. In searching his name, there are still articles and Websites which reference his work and a few photos if you wish to research him. Fortunately, most of the photos are still in place on this post. I will keep checking with the hope of him returning to an online presence in the future. Imagine wandering through a beautiful forest when out of nowhere a giant sequoia portal appears. What you are seeing is probably the work of David Digapony. This amazing sequoia circle is pictured in the Redwood Forest near Warburton, Victoria, Australia. Ephemeral art, woven sculpture, and basketry made from the treasures he finds in the forests comprise the beautiful creations which can be found at Wild & Woven. Ephemeral Art 'Magic Portal' Sequoia circle Redwood Forest, Warburton 'Sentinel' Interwoven mountain ash branches O'Shannassy Aqueduct, Millgrove Natural materials including branches, sticks, and vines are intricately woven over many hours to create a completely unique form which corresponds with nature itself. David does commissioned work for public spaces, festivals, and community gatherings. Basketry Using a random method of weaving gives each of Wild & Woven’s baskets a truly unique design. Each root and vine has its own composition which slowly begins to define the texture and shape of the finished basket throughout the course of the weaving. Most are irregular in shape and the final form is the result of many hours of creation. Random Weave Basket Tree Fern Roots Large 'Baby' Basket Wongo Wonga Vine 'Baby Nest' Random Weave Basket Random Weave Nest Grass and Moss 'Tangled' Random Weave Basket The Yarra Valley provides a location to search and harvest the twisted vines, roots, and branches which are then carefully assembled in a process which David states is both “ancient and meditative.” 'River Nest' Yarra River, Warburton Wall Art 'Winter Moon' Pandorea Vine and Leptospermum Roots Both coarse and delicate textures are reflected in David’s wall art with which he seeks “to create works which resonate with nature’s wild essence.” His inspiration comes from the beauty of the natural materials themselves. While wandering through the forest on your next adventure, if your discoveries include a magic portal, continue on your course and discover where the doorway leads....

Artist James Brunt creatively uses nature as his materials and canvas.
A scroll through Jon Foreman’s Instagram proves just how prolific the Wales-based artist has been this year—he’s collaborated with artist James Brunt (previously) on a few projects, too. From coils arranged in gradients to whirling patterns embedded in the sand, Foreman’s land art sprawls across beaches and grassy patches in an impressive number of locations. Each work is precise in composition, perfectly matching size, hue, and shape into hypnotic works that contrast the man-made construction with their organic backdrops. More
Over autumn and winter i’ve been out in the woods playing with natural materials.
“This is an ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest. These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales,involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.” Work by Zander Olsen.

Jon Foreman discovered land art while in college and immediately fell in love with it. He felt that the natural world had more in it to be explored, particularly where he lives, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
These are two old pictures from a few years ago. Soon there will be more dandelions to create things with and each day as the evenings draw back Spring is more evident all around. New growth and new life gladdens the heart. Lambs in the fields, birds singing and buds on the trees. This Winter may have a sting in the tail yet but Spring is most certainly on the way and soon there will be new life and new growth and new materials with which to create. Land Art Blog

For over 20 years environmental artist and photographer Martin Hill has been creating temporary sculptures from ice, stone, and organic materials that reflect nature’s cyclical system. Often working with his longtime partner Philippa Jones, the duo create sculptures and other installations that “metaphorically express concern for the interconnectedness of all living systems.” Speaking specifically about the use of circles Hill shares: The use of the circle refers to nature’s cyclical system which is now being used as a model for industrial ecology.

If you ask someone what they think makes art so special, they are likely to tell you that it is the creative aspect and the sensual aspect of art that makes it so special. This is true and makes sense too but one of the things that makes art so wonderful to so many according to us, is the fact that it has no limits or limitations. We don’t know whether you agree with us or not, but we are planning to make a convincing case of this point in this article. In this article, we are going to be talking about art that is larger than life in the sense that instead of limiting itself to a canvas or a particular material it is using land or natural features to showcase the creativity of the artist. We are talking about land art installations in this article. It is only when you look at these stunning land art installations will you realize that these are immense works of art that seem to own the land on which they have been made without dominating them. This is probably due to the fact that the land is part of the art as much as the art is part of the land and one could not imagine one without the other once one has seen it.
‘Nature is an active component of art, not a setting for it’ – Ben Tufnell Pictured here are the results my weaving endeavours with Jess last weekend. Both of us scouted around to find a site at Stave Hill for making a loom - see loom weaving and willow heddles post. We decided on the location above as both of us were interested in how the loom would intersect with the existing path and in the time it took to set up the warp and weave the fabric, we trod our own desire line at one end of the loom. We took pictures of each other as we weaved and thought it would be a good idea to swap each others snaps and both write about the process here. This is my version of events, the next post will be Jess’s account, my first guest writer on the blog. Having been much inspired by Eric Boudry’s Book of Looms and the description in it of a two-bar loom dating back as early as 6000 B.C., I suggested not using our specially made willow heddle for this job; a ridiculous idea in many ways after all our talk about these handmade heddles - see previous post. We used gardening twine for the warp and reeds for the weft. This type of loom requires a shed stick and heddle rod placed between a breast and warp beam; in our case two trees. The action of creating shed and counter shed to allow the weaving of the weft is performed by each of us standing on either side of the warp, alternatively pushing and pulling the shed stick and heddle rod. Five hours later, and after much exertion, we produced almost two meters of fabric which we are completely thrilled about. The physicality of the whole process (stretching the warp, repeatedly pushing the reeds through it, manipulating the heddle and shed stick) reminded me of Ron Arad’s following definition of design as ‘an act of one imposing one’s will onto materials to perform a function’. I don’t really agree with this however. It seems unfair on the materials, and the whole process was more of a dance than a battle of will. I like to think of art or design as a collaboration between the materials and the maker. Using materials readily available onsite (apart from the gardening twine of course) as well as the setting for the piece, I think we did achieve this. Over to you Jess… photos: Jessica Smulders-Cohen
