Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Chris Drury creates art inspired by the wild landscapes of the world. He creates two kinds of work: firstly that made en route in beautiful locations, frequently cairns or shelters; secondly objects created later from materials found along the way - meticulously worked baskets, exquisitely formed "bundles" of bone, wood, leaf, grass, feather and stone. This book is a record of a highly inventive artist. Drury's work evokes the essence of each place he visits. In Ireland a delicately balanced cairn on rocks perched high above the sea is topped by the bone of a pilot whale found on the beach to become the essence of his feeling of that particular day, which was one of air and flying. Elsewhere in the book, the spray from a spectacular waterfall in Norway mixes with the smoke of a fire cairn; a 70-foot high vortex made of interlaced struts of hazel and willow sits delicately within the confines of a medieval castle. Kay Syrad's introduction analyzes Chris Drury's sculpture against the background of late 20th-century environmental art, drawing parallels with Zen Buddhism and giving insights into the motivations of the artist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Condition: Sehr gut. 118 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Chris Drury's work over the last sixteen years constitutes a sustained exploration of the con-ceptual distinctions commonly made between nature and culture. His work is generally shown and categorised as 'Land Art' or 'Art in Nature', a context which, ironically, tends to maintain the divisions that he opposes. Drury does not seek to romanticise nature, although many of his works draw attention to nature's beauty; nor is he working from a political or moral position which imbues nature with goodness, to be protected from human badness. He is concerned, rather, with the knowledge and insight given to our 'inner nature', or consciousness, by certain types of encounter with 'outer nature', the material world. He wishes neither to romanticise art, nor to give it status above any other activity, and in this he is influenced by the tenets of Zen Buddhism: 'An artist is a communicator, but to be an artist one must first be a human being: that is to say, whole, undivided, if that is possible. From such a position there is no division between man, art and nature. The world is perceived as it is. Personally I have nothing to communicate, consciously, or unconsciously; the work simply reflects the moving from moment to moment in the world as it is, and so it is nature itself that communicates.'
