BeltLine Project

I stopped by the BeltLine on my way home last night.

1. The pipe is about 8 feet from the path and surrounded by grass.

2. The path is big rocks and hard earth.

3. The pipe is too big to fill in with dirt.

Thoughts?

My sketch for the Beltline

When we first walked the beltline I thought I would do swirls. But instead, I decided to continue to emphasize the idea surrounding my visual arts work which is the golden ratio and fibonacci sequence. I did some sketches like I said I would of some formations I could do with rocks on the trail. The first sketch I did is a root system, meant to go from one side of the trail to another, which would make it ultra ephemeral because bikers and walkers would quickly make it disappear. But then I thought it would be difficult to do because we would block people using the trail and that could be difficult and dangerous especially if bikers are coming through. So I made a second sketch of a root system that could be done on the side of the road. I thought if you all still want to do something else, me putting some root designs into the beltline could be a pleasant ephemeral precursor. I also do not know if this idea will be successful or not, I tend to have a 50/50 success rate whenever I come up with ideas for work. Please let me know what you all think.
