Mound Art in America
Step one-- Mound Art theoretician
Marty Esworthy considers the possibilities.

Mound art ain't easy. But it's fulfilling. It's outdoor work.
You start with the raw material and landscape.
It's mainly about shape and form and moving earth, gravel and other foundations into a pleasing form
that continues to grow with grace through wind and rain, heat and cold. You work with Mother Earth
and try with work in harmony with the surrounding landscape. You sculpt and shape with natural elements
whenever possible.
You start with your concept and work with the good earth and that's what makes America great.

Way back when, large earthen monuments were built by Native Americans, often in the shapes of animals...
On the Watson Brake mound complex on the west side of the Ouachita River approximately twenty miles south of West Monroe were found eleven mounds constructed in a circular pattern, with each mound being connected by a low manmade earthen ridge.
The Watson Brake mounds are the oldest known human construction in the entire Western Hemisphere. Watson Brake, in fact, is older than the Egyptian pyramids and England’s Stonehenge.
