Spencer Byles Does Nature Better Than Thoreau

Byles recently spoke to Bored Panda about his process and art. “I had been making sculptures with found materials in forests at different times over 10 years,” Byles says. “I felt I needed to concentrate on one large project and produce good quality photographs of each sculpture…I set out with no particular plan and had no expectation how it might evolve. I responded in different ways to each location and worked on at least 20 sculptures at one time. I worked spontaneously without any drawings or planned design.”
