The Spiral Jetty, a large earthwork sculpture made by Robert Smithson in 1970. It is constructed of basalt rocks and extends into the northern end of the Great Salt Lake. Human for scale, if you can find them (near the center of the spiral).

While in #Utah I carried out a minor ritual at #spiraljetty
I walked out among the rocks and as I passed each rock chose one of my fears and vanities and told it that that rock was it's to defend. And when I reached the center I stepped out from the rocks and walked away on the sand until I could barely see the jetty.

Leaving all my demons behind.

"When a finished work of 20th-century sculpture is
Placed in an 18th-century #Garden,
It is #Absorbed by the #Ideal representation of the #Past,
Reinforcing #Political & #Social #Values that are no longer with us."
