art from nature

a few years ago my son and his best friend, who were about 8 at the time, constructed a sculpture in my driveway from large smooth stones, bricks, and cement blocks. i loved that sculpture both for the sponteneity they exibited while building it and the artistic expression of two little boys.

so when i ran across escher's flickr stream (richard shilling) it became one of my frequent stops. he makes art from nature in the vein of andy goldsworthy and is a talent in his own right.

you can get to the flickr photos of his work at http://www.flickr.com/people/escher1/
it's a destination well worth checking out, as is his blog at www.jrlandart.blogspot.com.

richard also has a book titled "land art." i will definitely be putting this on my wish list!
