#13____Human-Made Space: In the past, photographers who were interested in how humans impacted the natural landscape grouped together to form the New Topographics. “"New Topographics" signaled the emergence of a new photographic approach to landscape: romanticization gave way to cooler appraisal, focused on the everyday built environment and more attuned to conceptual concerns of the broader art field.”http://www.lacma.org/art/ExhibTopo.aspx
My piece of land art would be a combination of ice and tree branches. All in all, my goal would be to create a meld between water flowing down from a structure, on to a tree and then freezing. This to me is symbolic of how structures and humans interact with nature. The ice that forms shows how we constantly change and form both to our environment as well as how the environment melds to us. The tree branches symbolize the reaching out (in good and bad ways) each of us does to the society and earth around us.
