OUTDOORART
ART IN
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
ART CAN BE INFINITESIMALLY SMALL; JUST THINK OF
THE STUNNING SCULPTURES THAT ARE CREATED ON
THE HEAD OF A PIN OR IN THE EYE OF A NEEDLE, OR
EVEN THE NOVELS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ON THE
BACK OF A STAMP. TIME, PATIENCE, AND A DESIRE FOR
PERFECTION ARE ALL PART OF MAKING SOMETHING
THIS TINY AND TIME CONSUMING.

Art can, however, also be huge – big
enough to be seen from the air (where,
it might be argued, the best view of it
can be had), and certainly too large to
keep in the living room. Some of this
incredible ‘outdoor art’ can be found
all across Kent.
If you want to experience outdoor art
for yourself, there are many places you
can visit in the county that will show
you exactly how well humanity and
nature can combine to create something
awe inspiring.
