Sahara line by Richard LONG

Here we have a photograph by the artist Richard Long taken in 1988.the name of this photo is Sahara line. In the background, I can see a blue sky and a mountain. In the foreground, there is a rocky desert, and in the centre, there is a line of rocks. In my view, the focal point is the line of rocks. The horizon, which is in the background, is made up of the sky and a mountain. It is the meeting point between the sky and the earth. In my opinion, the photograph has several meanings. It represents time and change.

Circle in Africa by Richard LONG


I can see a black and white photograph and a lot of dead trees. The sky is dark. In the centre, I can see a circle with trees. It reminds me of Michael Jackson’s video of Earth Song. It symbolises the destruction of the world. I think the circle in the middle represents the dead world and it warns of destruction.

I think something bad will happen when I look at the cloudy sky.

Photograph : Waternest by Nils Udo

We can see a child in the middle of a nest, made by Nils Udo. He is an English artist. The masterpiece is made of reeds. There are undulating lines. The background of the photograph is quite a dark green. The nest is brown and in the middle of the nest, a baby is illuminated.
It resembles a sun flower opening to reveal a baby. It is a peaceful image.

In my opinion, it’s like a baby in mummy’s tummy.

The lightning field by Walter de Maria

Spiral jetty by Robert Smithson


Here we have a photograph by the artist Robert Smithson taken in 1970. He was an English artist.
I can see a spiral in the middle in the sand. It’s the focal point. In the foreground, there is sand and in the background, we can see a long mountain range. At the top, the sky is a very beautiful blue and the top left hand corner, there is a big mountain. Behind the spiral, the sea is blue. The spiral looks like the shell of a snail.
In my view, it symbolises time. The photo is magnificent and restful.

Passage by Andy Goldsworthy

It’s a fallen oak with a piece of ice through it. There is a contrast with the materials. The ice is white and transparent and the oak tree is brown, solid and thick. The ice is about to melt. The ice symbolises a dead oak tree.

Maryam

River by Andy Goldsworthy

I can see a lot of trees and branches. They are green and brown. They are made up of rocks and icicles which look like ice stalagmites in a line, standing on a rock in the foreground.
The light passes from day to night. It represents the passage of time like in a film called Twilight.
The white ice water flows. The branches are everywhere in the picture

In my opinion, this picture is beautiful. I think there is a contrast between the optimistic
transparent light colours and the pessimistic black colours.
