M4 #8 Robert Smithson

Robert Smithson (January 2, 1938–July 20, 1973) was an American artist famous for his land art.

The Spiral Jetty, considered to be the main work of American sculptor Robert Smithson, is an earthwork sculpture constructed in 1970. Composed of mud and basalt rocks on the northern shore of the Great Salt Lake 30 miles from Brigham, Utah, it forms a 457-meter-long counterclockwise coil jutting from the shore of the lake. The coil is only visible when the level of the Great Salt Lake is low.

This is an interesting piece of work, its land art on a massive scale! Taking something natural and making it into an un-natural spectacle to look at. I think it would be pretty fun to walk the entire length!

This one is called Broken Circle.. I find this very interesting and nice to look at, as with the first one its taking natural materials and forming it into very un-natural, aesthetically pleasing image. I think it would be very fun to design and actually make something like this.
