Selected works by land artist Nils Udo
”The artist works on site using found berries, leaves, sticks, the movement of water, the growth of plants. Each piece is in response to the landscape and materials he finds around him. The beauty of nature and the gently altered landscapes revealed in Nils-Udo’s work are entrancing and mysterious.”

(Wax, wicks, steel)
A life-size wax statue of the artist’s friend Rudolf Stingel. One of a series of works in which wicks were placed in strategic spots on the sculpture so that it gradually melted down in the course of the month-long exhibition.
