"Double Negative is a piece of land art located in the Moapa Valley on Mormon Mesa (or Virgin River Mesa) near Overton, Nevada. Double Negative was completed in 1969 by the artist Michael Heizer.
The work consists of a long trench in the earth, 30 feet (9.1 m) wide, 50 feet (15 m) deep, and 1,500 feet (460 m) long, created by the displacement of 240,000 tons of earth. Two trenches straddle either side of a natural canyon (into which the excavated material was dumped). The "negative" in the title thus refers in part to both the natural and man-made negative space that constitutes the work. The work essentially consists of what is not there, what has been displaced" (Wikipedia).

My baby. She was so tough.
I though she deserved this amazing, rugged picture
Beautiful Jeffrey. Just beautiful. (I'm glad you got good photos cuz I don't think I will be going there to see it in person any time soon.)
ReplyDeleteThat was so interesting - what an undertaking. That last picture of the sub could be a commercial.
