Structural cues: Non-precious materials; Change and decay; Nature against industry; Bare assembly. Accent cues, used sparingly: Intervention in terrain; Earth and stone; Vast scale; Erosion and time. Composition: Set the work on the floor and refuse the plinth and the spotlight.. Type and lettering: Let the title be a list of the materials, with no metaphor added.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Soil, stone and water from the site, with haulage and machinery planned in. Mood: Rebellion, Calm, Intimacy, Exhilaration. Color: build on #d8d0bd, #83755f, #312e28 with a single accent drawn from #d4c6a8, #8a7657, #414038. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Arte Povera: Do not reduce this to the mood of aged materials, and keep its critique of value, time, labor and institution. Over conditioning the display turns the work into an unchanging specimen.
# - Earthwork / Land Art: Ask about land ownership, environmental cost, Indigenous places and the power held by the documenting medium. Chasing size without reading geology and drainage leaves work that reads as excavation and fails over time.
