Nancy Holt - Stone Enclosure: Rock Rings

This book offers an in-depth look at a single artwork by the American artist Nancy Holt (1938–2014). ‘Stone Enclosure: Rock Rings’ was completed in 1978 and remains a significant work in Western Washington University’s prestigious outdoor collection. Located in Bellingham, Washington, the structure has appeared in many discussions on the artist’s earthworks but has not received direct focus until now. The book is an enlightening guide to the project and its execution, and further examines Holt’s sculpture and practice through multiple perspectives, including essays, a poetic memoir, interviews, archival documentation, and the artist’s own exposition in writing and images.
