LAND ART: Upington, 21-26 December 2011

Playing with leaves, rocks and reeds around Christmas time:




White rocks collected, moved/carried to the tree, before being arranged alongside the lines of the roots growing from the trunk and into the sand. 







Rocks collected and placed to form a circular shape on the sand of a dune.




Rocks collected and found on a dune, placed in a line to create shadow shapes.




Grass stalks places into red Kalahari sand, in the late afternoon sun just before sunset. 





Young reed stalk - small slits made in order to fit pieces of reed at angles into the main stalk. 
Shadow play onto slate/rock.  



Leaves from a reed, braided together. 




Leaves from riverside reeds, staked together with a piece of young reed stalk, and placed into a crack in the wood of a 'stoep' pole.

 


Dried reed structure floating, and dis-tangling on the Orange River



Small white rocks collected on one side of farm house, carried around to other side of farm house, and then placed in a line
