Forest, Field & Sky: Art Out of Nature

EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

Art historian James Fox travels through forests, fields, and deserts to look at artists who make the landscape itself their material. He walks the spiral stone paths and cairns of Richard Long, stands inside Andy Goldsworthy's ice and leaf sculptures as they begin to melt and decay, and visits sites built to be reshaped by wind, weather, and time rather than preserved behind glass. Fox talks to the artists themselves about why they left the studio for open ground, and about the specific discomfort of making work that a gallery cannot buy or a collector cannot hang on a wall. The film treats decay as part of the art rather than a flaw in it, following pieces that are already disappearing by the time the camera leaves. Alongside the artists, Fox asks what draws people to abandon canvas and paint for mud, ice, and stone, and what that choice says about the relationship between human creativity and the natural world it works within.
