Answer:
An environmental sculpture surrounds its viewers, who experience the artwork as they enter and move through out the space. An environmental sculptor plans a piece from the very beginning in relationship to its surroundings. The finished sculpture and its site form one integrated unit, working together to create a unified mood or atmosphere. The space became my artist's studio during the installation process. Each site has particular characteristics, which can affect the qualities of the finished sculpture. An environmental sculpture may also be a series of interrelated objects that exist together in a space. The individual sculptures may be small, but they create a kind of zing or spark between them. Then the larger space becomes unified, and one is aware not just of the materials but of the spaces between things. The intentions is to create an integrated viewing experience. Many artists use materials, shapes, colors and textures from the natural environment. Others explore meanings of natural cycles, such as the the four seasons; metamorphosis; cycles of birth, growth, aging, death, and decay.
