Strijdom van der Merwe (born 1961) is a South African land artist who uses materials he finds on site to create his artworks. His materials include sand, water, wood, rocks and stone. By shaping these elements into geometric forms he juxtaposes the contrast between artwork and environment, growth and destruction. Van Der Merwe’s works are often very ‘free’ in the sense that he is able to respond to nature, but within the context of ‘ nature having a bigger impact on you, than you on nature’. A site, and the materials it offers, will reveal itself to you as the artist as you walk – be it in a forest, or along a beach, or in the Karoo. Only then will ideas and working methods start developing. It’s a process of working with the natural material you find on site. Nothing is planned ahead – it’s all improvised as you go along.
