The art of lawn mowing
Your feet aren’t your only tool to make figures on a map. What do you think of the art of lawn mowing?
Artist Jeremy Wood made art with his motirized lawnmower, while he was cutting the grass in his moms back yard. He tracked the movements with GPS and created these nice figures as a result.
Lawn mowing in different seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter:
