Notes de l'éditeur
- Sometimes large amounts of earth or land are shaped into sculptural forms, as in the earthworks of the 1960’s and 70s. These works could be temporary or permanent and included great trenches and drawings in the desert, bulldozed configurations of earth and rock, and delicately constructed compositions of ice, twigs, and leaves. What such works have in common is the artist’s use of local materials to create pieces that are unified with or contrapuntal to the landscape.
- Preliminary sketches for Spiral Jetty

- Roden Crater is an extinct volcanic cinder cone, situated at an elevation of approximately 5,400 feet in the San Francisco Volcanic Field near Arizona’s Painted Desert and the Grand Canyon. The roughly 400,000 year old, 600 foot tall red and black cinder cone is being turned into a monumental work of art and naked eye observatory by the artist James Turrell. Working with visual phenomena that have interested man since the dawn of civilization, the Roden Crater project will bring the light of the heavens down to earth, linking visitors with the celestial movements of planets, stars and distant galaxies. In addition to exploring the interplay of light and space in his art, Turrell has looked closely at the design of ancient observatories as places for visual perception. http://rodencrater.com/

Using eco-friendly materials, the artist creates lush installations in forests, rivers and streams, then immortalizes them in photographs. Meyer transforms materials from the forest floor, making surprising installations that echo the natural beauty of their surroundings.
