About the Author
Richard Shilling
escher
Lancaster, Lancashire, England
Richard Shilling is a sculptor, photographer and film maker working in the field of Land Art.
Land Art involves making sculptures using only natural materials gathered near to where the sculpture is made. Many of them are ephemeral and will last only a few short minutes before the wind or the tide takes it away. Soon after nothing remains and Richard attempts to capture the most vital and vibrant moment of each sculpture in a photograph.
He makes his sculptures in beautiful and wild natural places across the North of England. Particularly in Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire but he has also created sculptures in Scotland and the Himalaya. He uses snow, leaves, wood and stone and anything else that mother nature can provide.
You can see more of his work on his website: http://www.richardshilling.co.uk and read all about what he gets up to on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/escher1 and on his blog: http://jrlandart.blogspot.com

I received this book in the mail last week. Its fantastic! The book size and length are perfect for young kids. The land art introduction and explanations are clear and simple enough to understand and the images are truly inspirational. Both my boys rushed around making land art after we read this book togehter. HIghly recommended!
