Land art is created in nature, using natural materials such as stones or water sometimes with introduced materials. The landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked and the works frequently exist in the open, located away from civilization, left to change and erode under natural conditions. Land art is also related closely to conceptual art in that the planning and photo documentation of process and final results can be exhibited in a gallery context, even if the work itself is located elsewhere or does not exist anymore. Van der Aalsvoort is inspired by woods and trees and spiritual locations in nature, or related to nature, especially in rural area’s and in Japan.
