Salt Drawing
A geographic system of triangles and circles doubling in size is created in the Bonneville Salt Flats to record the arch of the sunset on the summer solstice.
It took four days of labor to draw the diagram, and one day to draw the arch of the solstice. All labor was done by the artist and the recording was done with a drone.
