“Everything I do is an experiment. If the picture I make is good or not is of
little importance in comparison to what I have learned. If the experiment
‘works’ I have the feeling of arrival, of completion, I am finished with the
idea. If it doesn’t work I often learn far more; it makes me think about why I
failed, and often gives me dozens of new ideas.”
- Walter Mason
Walter Mason is a German artist who specialises in the creation of experimenting with nature to create artworks. Walter Mason's art presents many comparisons to Andy Goldsworthy as both artists express themselves and the importance of nature from sculpturing using natural elements. Walter Mason outlines that he was influenced by Goldsworthy but by no means aims to imitate he's work (Claire, My Modern Net [blogpost], 2013).
Mason's elements that are commonly used include:
- leaves
- stones
- ice
- flowers
The slideshow below shows Mason's creations influenced by the seasons of Autumn, Spring/Summer and Winter.
Walter Mason believes that through his artwork and any land-artwork, we can appreciate the world around us and provides a pathway to change the way we look at the world by considering the amazing things we take for granted.
