James Brunt creates elaborate ephemeral artworks using the natural materials he finds in forests, parks, and beaches near his home in Yorkshire, England. This form of land art involves detailed patterns, textures, and shapes formed using multiples of one kind of material. Brunt collects twigs, rocks, and leaves and arranges them in mandala-like spirals, geometric patterns and concentric circles. He photographs his finished work to document it before nature once again takes hold of his materials.
Children in Merlins and Ospreys studied some of his artwork and were then inspired to create some of their own artwork, based on mythical creatures.
