The Cellar - March 16th, 2020 : Land Sculpture

Jon (Sculpt the World) Foreman does land sculpture with found materials in vulnerable places outdoors like beaches.
Granted it takes talent, perseverance, and labor, as the materials and locations are free.
However you can’t make a living doing this sort of art so I wonder what his day job is?

A creator of various styles of Land Art, he is ever in search of “different.” Be it with stones or leaves, inland or on beaches. He has even created works in derelict environments using materials such as broken glass or ashes and general debris. The scale of his work varies massively; he may use stones or driftwood to make something small and minimal. Otherwise he may be seen drawing massive scale sand drawings up to 50 metres across. His work is ephemeral in many differing ways; Most often the weather and immediate climate will make his work disappear (be blown down/washed away by the tide), and sometimes other people will interfere. This is all part of the creative process and has proven to benefit his work. Jon’s practice is not just something he enjoys but it is also a therapy for him, an escape from the stresses of everyday life.

What stresses, what life?

Jon began his journey making Land Art/Sculpture while in college but he feels his creative play with materials and innovative ideas are something which started long before. Most of his work takes place in an already beautiful setting such as the Pembrokeshire coastline. Having grown up there he saw the beauty of the coastline and woodlands and made use of them by collaborating with nature itself.

Aha, he’s a Brit so he doesn’t have to work, Boris takes care of all his peeps. :lol2:
