I’m challenging myself in 2016 to produce an ephemeral art piece each day.
So what is ephemeral art? It’s a piece of art made on a walk with no tools and only what I find and then leave behind for others to find (or not).
This came as a result of gazing around Instagram and coming upon the work of Leonie Barton who had done this in 2015. I was totally inspired.
I have loved land art, or temporary art installations, since encountering Andy Goldsworthy‘s work years ago.
My kids and I have done “Goldsworthys” on beaches in numerous places. I have left behind many pieces of art over the years. But never one a day.
So here goes….

dear Evelyn – i wish you well on your journey. You may not know but Leonie was inspired by me and it the ‘recipe’ i devised in 2014 that she used and is spreading out around the world. Just giving you background and you may like to check out mine too. shonawilsonartist on Instagram. I have finished 1 yr of colour and last year i did a black and white series but not so rigorously oneaday. I am now working in the studio again but the ephemeral work changed my life! happy creating
Wow, thank you for writing Shona! I am surely being challenged each day with the conversation with nature. Thank you for having the courage to share your idea years ago.
