Andy Goldsworthy-Like Earth Art Made on the Shores of Lake Superior

By Moss & Fog1 min read
Artists from Northern Michigan University recently created a series of beautiful fleeting ‘earth art’ that consisted of carefully selected leaves floating in pools of water on ancient rock beds. Located on the shores of Lake Superior, it makes for a dramatic backdrop for the color gradient leaf arrangements. Inspired by the likes of Andy Goldsworthy and other naturalist artists, with work that is as fleeting as it is intricate. Created by NMU Earth Art, in collaboration with Taimur Cleary. 72763097_10157670009944419_6521962797377519616_o72957028_976411659364281_5132051980994215936_o73000378_976411846030929_1036541480161771520_o73019668_976411902697590_289608760006017024_o73237559_10157670009574419_6572079860221476864_o73425125_10157670009589419_4536870411140333568_o
