We will be joining Professor Shreck’s photo class to create some site specific earth works in the Winfield forest preserve. In your groups you will make four distinct proposals, and then refine a single one before we make our field trip. For further inspiration, the works above are by Andy Goldsworthy and Wolfgang Laib, and below: Robert Smithson and Ana Mendieta. Document your work with photographs from many viewpoints and then choose three that best represent your initial vision and are descriptive of the actual form of the earth work. Finally, write up a short statement about your process and idea.
