Art for the Sky
January 16th, 2009
Daniel Dancer, Oregon conceptual artist, became fascinated with sky art while traveling in South America in the 80’s and encountering the famous Nazca Lines of Peru. When he returned home, he began working with Kansas field artist, Stan Herd, who creates giant images on the Earth (like the one below) by using a tractor as a paint brush and crops for color. One day, Daniel decided to bring an entire elementary school out to perform as beads on the headband of a 25 acre Indian head. The result was stunning.
