  • Also Andrew ,Jamie and I are wondering how you were able to control the fire element of the piece. Was the ground around the hay very moist ?

  • @JamieDean Actually, even though the grass was left to grow quite long before being cut there were lots of new green shoots at ground level. So while the dried grass burns quite easily it does not spread, I did not need to do anything special to prevent the fire from spreading. Thanks for watching this. The pattern is quite an ancient one. There were many turf mazes of this sort in England, only a few left, but this pattern can be found in Chartres cathedral and carved in prehistoric stones.

  • Sophie is quite right , this is wonderful !

  • @MissPandora1967 You have certainly identified 2 of my land art heros! I spent 3 hours with Goldsworthy on Hampstead Heath back in the 1980 but your 3 days trumps that. That must have been a wonderful experience. The music is Philip Glass from the film The Hours. Great you found this. I was thinking yesterday whether I should forward it to you, your one step ahead.

  • Beautiful music and this is the first time I've seen/heard of landart. Seems intriguing, I'd like to learn more. I'd like to know the meaning behind your landart too....looks like a spiral or something like that.

  • really great job, andrew. Does the ash maze signify anything or is it left to interpretation? I'm thinking it could represent the villages burned horribly in order to achieve ethnic cleansings.

  • Marvelous.. nicely synchronized to the Glass piece. (what is the music? It sounds a bit like it might be from Akhnaten? Or am I confusing it?) I admire your work enormously.
