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....

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.

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.

Well I think the wait may be over. Autumn has arrived. I haven't visited my favourite cherry trees this year until today and finally they are starting to produce their most wonderful autumn colours. But what is autumn and when does it start? The Americans have a good system for this, they call it fall. So I propose that we rename spring to grow, summer to wilt and winter to shiver (the French nearly got that one right). Or how about using colours? Autumn could be red, summer yellow, spring green and winter white. I noticed the first signs of colour earlier this week. Several beech trees were changing but they did look diseased. But every one of the ten cherry trees I searched out this morning had small clusters of orangey-pink leaves and these looked disease free. It has been very wet in the UK over the last few weeks so it can't be that the trees need a drink but I don't remember seeing colour this early before. But again just like I hadn't ever noticed the colours that I found this spring and summer perhaps it is always this way. That autumn starts earlier and lasts longer than you might think and by putting my self on standby (escher waiting for autumn) then this year I have noticed the change. Another layer peeled back. The autumnal theme is quite apt though as you may have noticed that this sculpture is sitting on a window sill. It has been very, very windy today. Far too windy for anything ephemeral to reach a point where I could take its photograph so I collected all the materials and went home. Whilst collecting I was lucky it was dry but a few short minutes after I got home the heavens opened so I have spent the day making this, listening to the radio whilst the rain lashed the window and the wind rocked the flowers and trees to and fro. The only evidence that belied it not being a full on autumnal day was the humidity and the temperature, everything else was just as it should be for an October day. The other thing I learnt today is if you are going to make something indoors and photograph it there too then don't use the window sill that the cat likes to sit on because you will find that when you review the photos on your computer that the cat hair and paw smears on the glass will spoil the result. And after cleaning it inside and out beware of interested partners who suggest that you photograph it in front of several other windows. It isn't that they appreciate your art, it is more that the appreciate you cleaning the windows. Land Art Site Land Art Blog

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, renowned in his field, that creates temporary installations out of sticks and stones, and anything and everything else that he finds outside. The son of a mathematician, Goldsworthy grew up working on farms before eventually getting his BA from what is now the University of Central Lancashire. "A lot of my work is like picking potatoes," he told the Guardian. "You have to get into the rhythm of it."
Each extraordinary piece lasts for only a limited time as the tide usually wipes it out. But what a treat for a beach goer to come across one of these!

British artist Andy Goldsworthy's sculptures melt and decay. "It's not about art," he says. "It's just about life, and the need to understand that a lot of things in life do not last."

An expert in the hypnotic, Wales-based artist Jon Foreman continues his exquisite constructions that position stones and shells into perfectly arranged formations. His most recent pieces include a mesmerizing gradient circle, concentric swirl, and seaside surge that show an evolution from his earlier land art by adding even more density and precision to his already meticulous practice. Because he works in public spaces subject to the elements, Foreman’s compositions last only a short period, although he sells prints in his shop for those wanting to preserve their entrancing nature.
