"to design with flowers.
to paint with the clouds.
to write with water.
to record the wind of may or
the path of a falling leaf.
to work on a storm. to anticipate a glacier.
to arrange water and light....
to take in a forest or a prairie....
to open up the living,
three dimensional spaces of nature.
with the slightest possible intervention, to electrify and transform the spaces of nature
into the spaces of art..."
these are the words of nils udo. nils works with nature . when i say "works with" it is really more of a manipulation, a readdressing of the properties of nature and applying them to an aesthetic that essentially redefines the purpose of the natural materials that he uses in his work, while also drawing attention to their natural and beautiful properties. his work has much in common with that of andy goldsworthy but to me, it has a softer presence about it.
"waterhouse". spruce trunks, birch branches, willow switches and lawn plantings.
"untitled". brookbed, bindweed blossoms.
rameaux de douglas.
