Tribute to Robert Smithson

By  Diane Roberts 2010

Diane Roberts

As a part of Dorset Art Weeks Open studio 2010, I decided to make a performance piece entitled 'a tribute To Robert Smithson'. I have always admired Spiral Jetty completed by Smithson in the eighties. I also use spiral forms in my paintings and prints. I revisited my childhood and made this playful work. Filmed by Miriam Troth edited by me.
