earth art

Earth art, also called land art or earthworks, refers to large-scale sculptures and installations created directly in natural landscapes, often using materials like soil, rocks, and vegetation found on site.

The movement emerged in the late 1960s as artists rejected gallery spaces in favor of remote outdoor locations.

Works range from subtle interventions to massive constructions like Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty.

The earth art installation transformed an abandoned quarry into a meditation on erosion.
