I have stumbled upon two creatures, one an artist, Andy Goldworthy, whose recent book was loaned to me by a fellow student, and one more of a showman and engineer, Bill Dan who I found via some surfing.
Goldsworthy is deeply engaged in environmental art. His work really clicked with me- I was skeptical, a lot of such stuff doesn't move me at all. Some of it is a kind of sand mandala, some of it simply beautiful. It made me want to do it too, which I consider a strong indication of effective art.

Bill Dan is a bit of a savant. He "rock balances". Enough said.
