Earthwork Portrait of Maya Angelou Completed in Atlanta
And Still—I Rise installation in Atlanta.
Stan Herd has installed a tribute to Maya Angelou, And Still—I Rise, in Atlanta’s Freedom Park.
Herd is well-known for his incredible crop art designs which have been featured in publications like National Geographic, among others. He’s been making these field-size works of art for more than 40 years.
He creates each design by using a weed whacker and foliage to achieve certain colors and textures.
Herd’s earthwork portrait of Angelou was begun at the end of November. The installation will remain visible for about two weeks.
The Herd Initiative is a nonprofit specializing in creating unique and large-scale art installations. For details on the project, follow The Herd Initiative on Facebook.
