Spiral Jetty
Smithson's 1500-foot spiral of rocks extends into Utah's Great Salt Lake. The work explores entropy, time, nature, and impermanence. The jetty appears and disappears with changing water levels, demonstrating nature's processes. Smithson creates art as geological phenomenon subject to natural forces. The work redefined sculpture's relationship with landscape and time.
