Pool of Earth 2.0

My project this time was for my Art History III class. I had to recreate Alan Sonfist's "Pool of Earth." However, I made it 90% smaller than the original design of a 50ft diameter.  Sonfist's original geographical sculpture was placed in a chemical waste dump and he was trying to bring life naturally to the land.  He just helped start that with the placement of his indigenous rocks and soil.  Over the course of three weeks, I attempted to bring life to the desert that was in my neighborhood, and I came out unsuccessful.. But maybe something will grow if my own pool of earth isn't stripped by the housing developments.  I will try to keep looking at it! I truly hope it grows!!
