Land Art “Cami de Vida”

Over the past few months I worked on a land art installation for a artistic intervention in my town. It involved other local artists of various disciplines including, music, poetry, dance, photography, design, etc. All with the theme of “life’s path”. An outdoor exhibition along a path following a stream, surrounded by forest, and a natural spring at the end. This trail has much significance to the people of Santa Eulalia de Riuprimer (a town of 1200 inhabitants an hour north of Barcelona). It’s a magical winding trail where  birthdays, festivals, are celebrated…where life is celebrated

Ephemeral, seasonal, cyclic, eternal, temporary… such a beautiful paradox is life. With roots in conservation and sustainability and created with the understanding that the installation would eventually melt away and be worn down by the elements to return to its source. Representing four seasons with hand harvested and hand woven stems from hazelnut and willow trees and covered in hand dyed natural fabric with black tea, indigo, and henna.

 

The design is an evolution of a stained glass series I created called, “Seasons”.
