Lawrence artist commissioned to create “earthwork” at college
Stan Herd, a Lawrence, Kan. artist known for creating large works of art using crops, rocks and earth, hopes to begin laying stonework this fall at the college. Herd has been commissioned to create a piece of “earthwork” on the campus.

Funding for the work comes from the Kansas Studies Institute, the Student Sustainability Committee, the Nerman Museum, the president’s office, and the Horticultural Sciences and Art History departments.
