In my end post, most artists working on structure sites, I commented on how the artists told me that the fine art comes out of what presents itself.

It's rattling much the same matter when David Nash industrial plant amongst wood. The weight of the woods dictates that most of the move is done where the tree grew. This way that when he industrial plant or too thus the world, he industrial plant amongst the trees too the woods which is indigenous to the place.

In other words, he responds to his environs - much equally the artists create who move inside a edifice site.

Yesterday I went to sentiment the exhibition. I didn't become circular it all (ran out of fourth dimension summation ran out of infinite on my SD card!) too 1 of the parts I didn't become to was the woods quarry. So I was rattling pleased to honour this forenoon that Kew Gardens accept published a video of David Nash on the Kew Gardens YouTube video channel which shows him working inwards the Wood Quarry too explaining how he work.

Later this year, industrial plant created past times David Nash inwards the Wood Quarry volition hold out appearing inwards the exhibition at Kew.

I'm but annotating a video I've created (I've but learned how to annotate cinema too thus equally to indicates titles of work!) too am drafting a review of the exhibition which volition hold out published afterwards today.

In the meantime, relish the sight of an creative somebody at move inwards the landscape.
