Temporary Art

After seeing some of the works by Skip Schukmann, I immediately fell in love with the idea of temporary art. This concept is fairly new to me, and something that I'm not sure I could create. I like the idea of being able to see my creations in their permanence, but with temporary art you need to enjoy the artistry and beauty in the moment. This can cause you to be more drawn into the piece due to its impermanence.

A viewers desire to understand art will only be enhanced by the idea of its temporariness to get as much out of it as possible before it is changed or altered by the elements.

When the environment is incorporated into the temporary work, the viewer may be even more compelled to the work because they are seeing nature manipulated and from a different point of view they've never experienced before.

With temporary art the viewer must understand the impermanence and urgency of the piece to really appreciate it.
