A breathtaking land art piece titled “Below” created by Jon Foreman at Lindsway Bay, Wales, UK. The design features an intricate circular pattern etched into the sand, with layers of geometric and organic motifs spiraling inward, creating the illusion of depth. A person stands near the edge, highlighting the massive scale of the artwork, with the ocean waves gently rolling in the background.

Jon Foreman: Wanted to do this one for a while, great to do this drawing style again and get lost in the process. Good weather always helps too. This illusion/composition isn’t nearly as complex as you’d expect, just a bunch of circles really. Then I just add in all the patterns like many of my previous works. There is however a mistake which is very easy to spot, I’ll leave that for you guys to work out.

A land art piece titled “Extimus Lux” by Jon Foreman, featuring a spiral pattern created from stones placed in shallow water. The design begins at the center and radiates outward, forming a hypnotic swirl that blends with the natural shoreline. A person stands barefoot nearby, admiring the artwork, with the calm water reflecting light around the spiral.

A vibrant land art piece titled “Explosia” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design features a dense cluster of colorful stones arranged in a circular shape, radiating outward in smaller, scattered patterns. The intricate use of pebbles creates a sense of movement and energy, resembling an explosion captured in a still moment on the sandy beach.

Jon Foreman: Often I get to a location not knowing what I’m about to create, this was one of those days. Upon starting all I had in mind was to start with big stones and work my way down to small stones. After a while it became apparent that this was turning into a work very similar to that of Dietmar Voorwold (who btw you should all check out cause his work is awesome!) anyway my point is there are things that I do in land art such as playing with scale/ colour that lead me to places that have already been discovered and it was completely unintentional for it to look like his work, I tried to then add my own style to it by dispersing the stones. Once I got so far I had to finish it having spend a good few hours on it already. Anyway I hope its seen more as a nod to an awesome artist than me copying his work.

A radiant land art piece titled “Calefacio Stella” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design resembles a starburst, crafted from carefully arranged stones of varying sizes and colors. The stones radiate outward in symmetrical, pointed formations, with the warm hues of the beach and distant rocks adding depth to the serene coastal setting.

A serene land art piece titled “Exspergo Luna” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design features a crescent shape made from colorful stones, carefully arranged on golden sand. The gradient of pebbles fades into smaller pieces, adding a delicate texture and enhancing the moon-like appearance of the artwork, set against the rippling patterns of the sandy surface.

Jon Foreman: A very time consuming way of working, the stones being compact and interlocking makes for a more solid piece but I could resist a disperse inwards. For some reason this style reminds me of jelly beans. Probably cause of the randomness of the angles that they’re placed. Also, recalling the light from photographing a previous moon piece. I chose to wait a while seeing a cloud heading my way and went for the capture while the cloud was thin so that there would still be shadow, but not too harsh a shadow.

A captivating land art piece titled “Consumo” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design forms a large circular arrangement of stones, with jagged, flame-like patterns extending inward toward the center. The stones vary in size and color, adding depth and texture to the piece. The artist sits nearby, reflecting on his work, blending perfectly with the serene beach setting.

“Vortex” at Little Milford woods.

Jon Foreman: Definitely had some collapses with this one. Previous to this work I’ve made pieces to test the strength of the mud/clay that I gather from the river nearby. This shows it well, I used it to stick the sticks to the tree and the leaves to to sticks. Definitely enjoying the mushroom quality and the ability to work much more three dimensionally.

Land art spiral made of moss by Jon Foreman in Minwear Woods, Wales. A series of green moss spirals radiate from the base of a tree, carefully arranged on a forest floor covered in brown autumn leaves. The artist is seen kneeling in the background, emphasizing the natural setting and thoughtful placement. The moss was ethically collected to allow regrowth, and the secluded hillside location was chosen to avoid foot traffic.

Jon Foreman: Great care is taken when using moss to ensure that there’s still plenty to be able to regrow and hopefully will continue to grow where placed. I chose this specific spot because it’s in a spot on a hill where people are less likely to walk.

Land artist Jon Foreman arranges a spiraling pattern of smooth white stones on the sandy beach at Pensarn, Wales. Titled Fluidform, the artwork features lines of pebbles radiating outward in a hypnotic wave, each line transitioning from large central rocks to tiny pebbles at the edges. The artist is captured mid-process, crouching as he carefully places one of the final stones, blending precision with the natural landscape.

“Cluster Moon” at Freshwater West

Jon Foreman: Two days working on this one, the tides didn’t go all the way up that day/night, it began as the dark blue to white working inwards on the first day and went outward from purple to yellow on the second day.

“Twister” at Little Milford Woods

Jon Foreman: I’ve been holding onto this one, the top of the piece is blurry and a lot of the other photos had similar issues, should have checked the images properly on the camera. The leaves are stuck using clay, all long gone now!

  11. That’s some very deeply beautiful art work you’ve created, each one holding its own message. Good job bro, hope to see more.

  12. Each is a Stunning gift. My favorite is Below. To know the wind, water and nature will take it away is a bit sad but change is the only thing constant. Thank you Jon Foreman for sharing your incredible talent and imagination.
