Whilst we're somewhat used to seeing art crafted upon some rather unusual canvases, nothing quite beats the latest project by Land artist Jim Denevan. Spanning 31-km-sq, Denevan's project is a 'drawing' on the frozen surface of the Siberian Lake Baikal, in the form of beautifully symmetrical crop circle designs. The series of patterns are actually based on the Fibonacci sequence; a number pattern present in many of nature's forms. As is the way of the natural world, Denevan's drawing dissolved after a few months, but his works were captured on film by Director Meredith Danluck for the Art Hard documentary, screened at The Nevada Museum of Art.
