Storm King Wall, Andy Goldsworthy (1998)

Andy Goldsworthy is among the most admired artists of our time. What artist has not stacked stones on a beach? Goldsworthy is the king of this. 

Noted for his stone arches and constructions, he has installed one of his largest works at Storm King Arts Center in New York. Goldsworthy is considered an environmental artist. His works are made of materials at hand and native to their site. The Storm King Wall meanders through a grove of trees, passes beneath a pond, and extends across a plain. The line of the wall responds to its surroundings, curving amongst the trees, gathering height amongst mature trees, diving beneath the pond, and straightening across the flat plain.

Wave Field - Maya Lin - Storm King - 2008

Storm King is a sculpture park in the Hudson Valley near NYC. It's pastoral landscape is the perfect setting for one of Maya Lin's Wave Fields. These giant earthworks represent a tempest at rest ... or a frozen moment in our ever ebbing and flowing world. The Storm King Wave Field is also an elemental design; a discussion of earth, wind, water, and heat. Walking between them encourages introspection; a realization of the mass of water and the heaving power of waves. Walking along their crest, one has the sense of freedom, of flight, control, and balance.
