The Guardians2013

Nicole Buffett


Mud, grass, gravel, water, earth-based or mineral-based paint pigment

These colorful spheres of packed earth, grass, gravel, and pigment were the only “guards” Buffett left outside with her earth paintings overnight. She placed each in a shaft of light in the Old Barn to follow the sun’s movement across the sky. This is an interactive piece. Please be gentle while placing the spheres.
