  Chris Drury walks -- and works -- in the wild landscapes of the world. Over the last 20 years, he has developed an impressive and highly personal repertoire of sculptural responses to the natural environment. In this first full-scale book on Drury, the work of this inventive English artist is presented in more than 100 large color photographs and his own revealing text.Drury's experiences of places or journeys around the globe are expressed in two kinds of sculpture: mounds or shelters, sometimes filled with fire, are made in remote locations; other pieces, including meticulously worked baskets and exquisitely formed bundles -- of bone, wood, leaf, grass, feather, stone -- are created later from materials picked up along the way.Kay Syrad's introduction analyzes Drury's sculpture in the context of late-20th-century environmental art, drawing parallels with aspects of Zen Buddhism and offering valuable insights into the artist's motivations.

  Like fellow artists Andy Goldsworthy and Richard Long, Chris Drury creates art inspired by the wild landscapes of the world. His work falls into two categories: firstly, that made en route in remote and beautiful locations, frequently cairns or shelters; secondly, objects such as meticulously worked baskets, exquisitely formed 'bundles' of bone, wood, leaf, grass, feather and stone, created later from materials found along the way. This magnificently illustrated book is a remarkable record of a highly inventive artist. Kay Syrad's introduction analyses Chris Drury's sculpture against the background of late-20th-century environmental art, drawing parallels with Zen Buddhism and giving valuable insights into the movivations of the artist. Drury is passionate in his appreciation of the natural world as one in which people have their place and have made their mark.
