Golf Art.
I am a “Dirt Artist”! I create things
out of dirt. For the longest time I wasn’t
sure who should actually get credit when a golf course
was finished. Sure, the Shaper (Dirt Artist) is responsible
for the actual creation of features, but the architect
is the one describing what he wants. So… who
is the Artist… and is this really Art? Art
by Webster’s definition is “The conscious
use of skill and creative imagination, especially
in the production of aesthetic objects”. So
then, by definition, this is Art. Ok, then who is
the Artist? Since no single person is responsible
for what is created, I would have to call this Collaborative
Art.
Obviously, I am a huge
fan of this form of Art... that’s why I have
added this page. My artists tool of choice is a
bulldozer. I can draw and paint,
but not like these people below. The drawings that
are
on this page were done for me, based on conversations,
and in some cases, rough sketches. They are a compilation
of shared thoughts, in this case... put to paper.
Collaborative Art! I hope you enjoy these and remember
to look
for the subtleties. As new ideas are born, this gallery
will evolve and expand, so check back often!
If
you would like to collaborate with me on golf
related themes and showcase your work on this
page, please contact me.
