In class we talked about the passage of time is evident in many earth art works. Richard Long's walks show that a time has passed before concrete evidence appeared in the ground (grass, earth, etc.). A human force is what took part in the showing of time, but the images I have captured above are different. The rusted iron fence and decayed stone wall became that way because of simply nature's force. A passage of time is still evident in the fence and wall. A long time must have passed before the fence and wall have had somewhat heavy rusting/decaying.
On a side note, one interesting aspect I found about the fence and wall was the fact that an underlying color started to show through from the rusting/decaying. This concept of earth's underlying color was incorporated in a lot of earth art, such as the Cerne Giant.
