Land artist Michael Grab creates astonishing towers and orbs of balanced rocks using little more than patience and an astonishing sense of balance. Grab says the art of stone balancing has been practiced by various cultures around the world for centuries and that he personally finds the process of balancing to be therapeutic and meditative.

We’ve seen some impressive projects lately that attempt to bring art from inside museums to the outside. Artist Stan Herd has been doing just that for years by using fields as his canvas for both original compositions and ideas of historical art. His latest work is a monumental 1.2-acre interpretation of Van Gogh’s 1889 Painting “Olive Trees” planted in Minneapolis. The piece approved by the Minneapolis Institute of Art and involved weeks of mowing, digging, planting, and earth is scraping to create the piece viewable from the air near the Minneapolis airport. If you happen to see the piece when flying into the city, you can head to the museum to see the real thing.

James Brunt creates elaborate ephemeral artworks employing the natural materials he sees in woods, parks, and beaches close to his home in Yorkshire, England. This kind of land art, popularized and frequently associated with fellow Brit Andy Goldsworthy, entails detailed layouts, textures, and shapes formed using multiples of one sort of material. Brunt collects twigs, rocks, and leaves and arranges them into nature mandalas, spirals, and concentric circles. He photographs his finished work to document it nature once more takes hold of his stuff.

There’s a new kind of art unfolding in snow-covered fields worldwide, and it doesn’t involve any paint or brushes. While most of us are limited to making snowmen or snow angels, Simon Beck has been busy creating massive land art pieces with nothing more than a few footprints and some creative thinking. His works are so significant that they can only be fully appreciated when viewed above, often looking like intricate geometric designs in the snow. It’s hard to believe that these pieces are created by simply walking across fields covered in fresh snow!
Beck is a cartographer born to create this sort of ephemeral artwork. He makes maps to plan his design ahead of time; one millimeter on the page equals one step on the ground as a cartographer. After preparing his itinerary, Beck heads out on the snow with a ski pole and snowshoes, among other gear he might require. He’s also an outdoor lover; for lengthy periods each day, he spends hours in the snow to bring his sketches to life. The results enhance the artwork’s aesthetics, which turn a winter wonderland landscape into a temporary work of art. Wind gusts and rogue skiers, as well as the position of the Sun, can alter the piece dramatically.
Beck is a longtime favorite of ours, and his land art is as prolific as ever. He’s back after a period of inactivity owing to COVID-19 constraints, and he’s currently creating snow art in the French Alps. On his Facebook page, you’ll find out where he’s going after seeing some of his latest snow drawings.
