I believe that it is important to point out that Homenaje a Los Monegros is designed not to negatively impact The Monegros under a sustainability point of view. I love The Monegros and its beautiful biodiversity, and I would never place toxic materials in its environment.<\/p>\n
The red gravel I decided to use for the land art installation is totally organic – just gravel stones colored with natural, non-toxic biodegradable pigments and resins that contains no heavy metals or solvents, and that will fade off in a few years, due to the tear and wear effect from visitors walking on it, combined with the extreme weather conditions of the Monegros desert, intense sun, low night and winter temperatures, rain and dust storms.<\/p>\n
As a matter of fact, the gravel will improve the accessibility to the Orwell trenches. During winter and rain seasons, due to the intense rains, the walkable path of the trenches in the Sierra of Alcubierre becomes muddy, in some points even swampy, as you can see from the image in the installation mock-up here below. The introduction of the gravel for the trenches’ pathways is actually a very functional input, besides of its artistic meaning and value. Even after its red color will fade off, the Orwell trenches will be more accessible, even during the rain season.<\/p>\n
