Pre-Conference

• Define environmental art as site specific work in the landscape using nature itself as a 'found object' - as both subject and raw material.

• Show examples of each artists work, discussing ephemeral qualities, enduring aspects, place and form, weather, exploration of pattern, etc.

• Point out how "the energy and space around a material is as important as the energy and space within" - Andy Goldsworthy (read other pertinent quotes)

• Point out that Fulton, Goldworthy, and Long's works are all the result of epic walks in the landscape.

• How do we experience landscape?

• These artists' works are the distillation of their experiences.
