Land Art
Sally Ducrow’s work in Land Art and related fields is influenced by a desire to give a new life to natural elements and to objects rejected by our culture of over-consumption and wastefulness. She has created many installations in the landscape, for symposiums, municipalities, private companies and private gardens, using principally natural and/or recycled elements, often found on site.
Les oeuvres de Sally Ducrow dans les domaines du Land Art et de l’Art Environnemental sont influencées par un désir de donner une seconde vie soit aux éléments naturels, soit aux objets rejetés par notre culture de surconsommation et de gaspillage. Elle crée de nombreuses installations dans la nature, et pour des jardins particuliers.
