If you still haven’t heard of the term “land art”, buckle up because it’s going to be one wild ride! Laurence Winram has been practicing this rare art form for a few years, and he’s using everything from leaves to seashells to create astonishing works of art that celebrate the fleeting beauty of nature.
Winram’s love affair with land art started in 2018 when he attended the 2018 European Land Art Festival in Dunbar. This event inspired him to develop his unique style of land art, which involves creating intricate artworks made from natural materials found outdoors.
He enjoys venturing into the woods and finding everything from leaves and flowers to sticks and stones that he can transform into mandala-like artworks. He also enjoys capturing his creative process through stop-frame animation videos that have brought millions of views to his Instagram page.
Winram finds his creative process meditative because it helps him reconnect with nature, while also capturing its fleeting beauty.
“I love the sense of mystery about creating a piece of land art in the forest and walking away. Very often, no one else will see it as they often blow away and are gone within the hour. But just to think someone might pass one and wonder to themselves, who made that? I like that thought,” he wrote on Instagram.
