This was a project called Sited in which we took an object into the environment to make Andy Goldsworthy-esque art. I used a thick black rope, about 20 feet long. I thought of it as a long bold line I could drape across the landscape. The first day we went to Red Rock Canyon (on Highway 24, just before Manitou. The first thing I tried was using my line to accentuate the natural lines in the landscape.
The second day we went to The Paintmines. You can get there if you take Platte until it turns into 24 going East. It's about a half-hour outside of town on the right--I forget the name of the town (Calhoun?). Anyway, its where Native Americans used to find pigment to make paint. There, as well as continuing my accentuation technique, I also went the other way and tried to draw contradictory lines.
