As a land artist Strijdom van der Merwe uses the materials provided
by the chosen site. His sculptural forms take shape in relation to
the landscape. It is a process of working with the natural world
using sand, water, wood and rocks, he shapes these elements into
geometrical forms that participate with their environment,
continually changing until their final probable destruction. He
observes the fragility of beauty while not lamenting its passing.
What remains is a photographic image, a fragment of the
imagination. While a visual record is materially all that is left,
he also leaves us a reminder of the capacity, however feeble, of an
individual to alter the universe by embracing the ceaseless
changing of nature, actively contributing to it and in so doing,
modulating and beautifying the outcome.
