ONWARD[ART] - EXPLORING THE WORLD OF THOSE WHO CREATE

ELEMENTAL ART FORMS takes a look at various outdoor art sculptures and museums and how they exist among the natural elements and ultimately transform over time.

A brief look into the art sculptures and philosophies of Assemblage Artist Noah Purifoy, who unfortunately died in 2004. But his work--what he considers to be his greatest masterpiece--still stands in the arid desert of Joahsua Tree weathering with the elements.
