As I was planning it, I realized that I was visualizing it almost exactly in terms of the large abstract forms I use in my paintings. So I continued in that direction and kept those painting shapes in mind. As a further cross-connection between the land-work and my art-work, when I am painting these shapes, I think simultaneously that they resemble landforms as seen from the air, or in a map, and also that I don't merely "paint" them as a manual act similar to handwriting (which is a fluid, almost non- tactile or non-tangible laying down of "words") but that I "carve" and "mold" them, reworking them with scumbling that is akin to dressing the marble or such or carving a wood block for a print.
