“Surface” A Trilogy of Three Environmental Earthworks


When entering any of the three earthworks, your eye should become level with the surface of the earth during the experience.
The finished works should be made from the earth on site.

 “Opposing Surfaces”(dual engagement of space and direction) Opposing energies, Two containers of earth
