Reflections about the Spiral Jetty

Seeing the artist stand on the spiral jetty reminded me of the topic of trespassing. The idea of being able to stand on water is a sort of natural trespassing. It is some were the artist and visitors are not supposed to be able to stand. Yet the jetty makes this becomes possible. This is very different to the other structures we viewed. Structures such as the gates only required a natural interaction with the environment like walking under them. The jetty is unique because it allows visitors to go some were they would normally never be able to go. This idea of making the impossible possible is key in art and is very well represented with the jetty.
