Judd replaced the garage's sliding doors with floor-to-ceiling glass, which makes the desert a backdrop for his silvery boxes and allows golden western light to dance through them.
" The restored artilley sheds house Judd's installation of 100 Mill Aluminum boxes. Both the pieces and the restored sheds are site specific - they were planned in conjunction with one another. The size of the buildings determined the size and scale of the artwork, as well as their placement. The boxes has a direct relation to how large the windows that Judd added were. Initially the buiding had a leaking problem and were proportionally inadequate. So Judd took example from a storage building in the nearby town of Valentine and added a vaulted roof of corrugated metal. The roof rescaled the whole building, doubling its height. The boxes contained within are all unique; no two are quite the same." ~~ source
One of Judd's largest undertakings involved 15 clusters of boxes installed in a one-kilometer long arrangement on the grounds of Chinati. Each cluster, different in make, gives the viewer a different framed of blocked view of the local landscape. The boxes, measuring about twelve feet in height. ~ source
'Earth Pods' sculpture by Kim Goodwin - Site_Specific 2013 International Land Art Biennale at Plettenberg Bay (look here!)
Benign sunny weather in September is some of my favourite type.
Spring is loaded with excitement as the long, cold, dark days of winter make its arrival so enthralling. But summer? Despite years of practice I find it difficult to appreciate fully, not until it threatens to be gone when I chastise myself each year for having not appreciated it. So when an Indian Summer rolls in in September it's bliss.
This past weekend was the first #LandSandStone Art Festival in Bridlington organised by @Responsible Fishing and @Active Coast Yorkshire, @JamesBruntArtist and his crew. And what a fabulous event it was.
A number of us, that had all met at the @Llano earth art festival, got together again in a sunny, summery Bridlington on the beautiful East Coast of Yorkshire. On Friday a sand drawing that was 1.3 miles long was made, on Saturday we all made ephemeral nature art for the visitors that day, to Sewerby Hall, and everyone had a great time learning, witnessing and enjoying, happy, happy vibes.
And then Sunday we were back on the beach for a very large turnout to make sand drawings, stack and balance rocks, make mosaics and all sorts of other creatures and sculptures with families galore joining in the fun.
It was a fabulous event, a massive success and we hope it will be the seeds of new events elsewhere over the coming months and years in Britain. So watch this space.
Much gratitude to James, Carolyn, Timm and Sam and everyone else for their hardwork, hospitality and dedication. Can't wait for the next round.
The bearded legend that is Marcelo Van Es showed me how to make free hand sand drawings and here is a flower mandala I made on Bridlington North Beach on Friday while the super long record attempt was going on.

“Seven Magic Mountains is an artwork of thresholds and crossings, of balanced marvels and excessive colors, of casting and gathering and the contrary air between the desert and the city lights.” — Ugo Rondinone, artist
Seven Magic Mountains is a large-scale, site-specific public artwork by artist Ugo Rondinone, located south of Las Vegas. The installation opened in 2016 on a portion of the Mojave Desert managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Each totem is 30-35 feet high and contains 3-6 locally-sourced limestone boulders.
From a sign at the site:
“The artwork extends Rondinone’s long-running interest in natural phenomena and their reformulation in art. Inspired by naturally occurring Hoodoos and balancing rock formations, the stacks also evoke the art of meditative rock balancing. The works appear poised between monumentality and collapse—seeming to defy gravity in their teetering formations, but equally to depend on it.”
