We recently posted about famous British artist Andy Goldsworthy, who works with nature to create beautiful, if fleeting, works of art. We are now aware of another Brit who takes this form of art seriously. James Brunt hails from Yorkshire, and also uses the outdoor world as his canvas, beautifully arranging stones, sticks, leaves and rocks to create mandalas and other works of art that are truly impressive. His use of symmetry and form are great, and the effort and care needed to create such detailed arrangements is what sets his art apart from the casual beach wanderer, who might make a simple stone collection on the sand.  You can see more of Brunt’s work on TwitterVia Colossal:
