Re: Ye Lord and Lady of Yatesbury - in a field near yo

As I say, impressive by any standards, and I'd go as far as to say an art form if nothing else (in fact not unlike the transient creations of Tibetan sand mandalas).


An interesting idea (there are also the butter, sand and ice sculptures that fall into the same category of transient art). Putting aside the arguments of who dunnit, how and at what cost, the better circles certainly fall into the category of a transient art form (if nothing else). And if a graffiti artist (by definition someone who defaces other people's property) can have their work recognised as an art form (and have it elevated to municipal status) I see no reason why the creators of crop circles (the better ones) shouldn't be afforded the same distinction.

There's something very unselfish about transient art - time spent on creating something that the (often anonymous) creator knows will last only a few days... or even only a few hours.
