5 mile sky

Added on June 19, 2017 by sabine kussmaul.

This was run one of a sequence of 5. The idea for this one was to focus on 'sky'. 
When I set up this stretchy-line drawing and then looked at it, the way it related to the horizon line and the sky, it made me wonder about the ancients' motivation to build and make stone circles and other material constructions in the environment. It appeared to me as a very  meaningful thing to do, to construct a drawing that visually corresponded to the sky, the horizon line, that connected me with the act of making to the surrounding environment. I wondered, if the willfull act of construction might have meant for ancients to gain a sense of control of the environment at whose mercy their lives depended. Or, if you can't control, you can at least 'communicate' which might create a feeling of control, at least....
