Styrian Summer Art: Land Art-Landscape Art

Pöllau

About the offer

We roam through nature until we find the place that has been waiting for us for a long time (paraphrased from the words of the artist). From materials we find in nature, possibly even on the ground, objects and sculptures emerge that remain in place and are thus entrusted to the course of nature.

In Land Art, nature is both brush and canvas. Creating small artworks with what nature provides – that is what nature art is about! Using materials from nature for art: stones, leaves, sand, grasses, woods, clay, water, pine cones, etc.

Arriving at a place, discovering special spots, settling in nature, creating connections, enhancing what is found, reorganizing through stacking, distributing, piling up, and connecting.

Weaving in surprises – getting lost and finding oneself again.

Please bring:

Strings (natural fiber), scissors, garden shears, utility knife, camera, flashlight
Sun protection and appropriate clothing
