In summary, the conversation is about an artist named Stan Herd who creates earthwork art. The speaker met him in a lamaze birth training class over 30 years ago and has seen a lot of his works since they are both from Kansas. The artist's earthworks are photos of his actual art and are difficult to implement due to the intricate detail. The speaker shares a memory of one of Stan's works where he painted large rocks used on the Kansas River dam. The speaker also mentions finding some of Stan's works through a Google search and shares a photo of his crop art featuring Kamala Harris. They also provide a YouTube video demonstrating Stan's process of creating his art.

I meet this artist when he and I attended a lamaze birth training class over thirty years ago. I just thought about him and thought I would post his website. Being from Kansas, I was able to see a lot of his works. Here's a small sample:

So his earthworks are photos of his actual earthwork art. Those must be really hard to implement. The detail is just fantastic.

Yes, very difficult. I know he took a lot of measurements. I remember one that he did by painting large rocks used on the Kansas River dam in Lawrence, Kansas.

I just did a google search "Lawrence Journal world Stan Herd" and got some of his works. Here's one of Kamala Harris:

I believe that's him working on it with his tractor.
