Precisely Arranged Stones Coil and Surge Across the Land in Jon Foreman’s Mesmeric Works

   A scroll through Jon Foreman’s Instagram proves just how prolific the Wales-based artist has been this year—he’s collaborated with artist James Brunt (previously) on a few projects, too. 

 

From coils arranged in gradients to whirling patterns embedded in the sand, Foreman’s land art sprawls across beaches and grassy patches in an impressive number of locations.

Each work is precise in composition, perfectly matching size, hue, and shape into hypnotic works that contrast the man-made construction with their organic backdrops. Because the outdoor projects are ephemeral in nature, Foreman (previously) offers prints of most pieces in his shop.

 

Mission Improbable: Your task, if you decide to accept it: Next time you go to the beach, take a bucket of rocks and have fun?

 

 

 

 

 April 2nd is my cousin Katha's birthday. Katha was the only child of Aunt Fern and Uncle Skete. She lived on the farm that her daughter Alana lives on now. When I was little and visited in the summers she cared for me as a little sister. Two only children bonded for life. I have admired and been inspired by her for eight decades!

 

 

I don't know how many years Katha was in 4-H but she had a wall full of blue ribbons for all kinds of projects, sewing, her lambs, probably all of the categories. Katha was always good at everything, scholastically, her career as a teacher, Indiana Teacher of the Year. A great person, Wife, Mother,  Grandmother and Great Grandmother! 

We all miss her.

 I don't look too happy in that thing on my head, but when you are that little you don't have much say in what they put on you?
