Alan Sonfist is an american artist and designer who began working in the 1960s. Sonfist works with landscapes and natural themes to uncover the earth's secret story. Environmentalism plays a key role in Sonfists art as he employs sustainable methods to create his pieces by using recycled materials. He is associated with a movement in art called the earth art movement that seeks to create a link between landscape and art and is hailed as one of the first environmental artists.
One of Sonfists most recognized works is called "Time Landscape" which includes living plants and animals in art. Indigenous plants and animals were reintroduced into a plot of land in Greenwich Village to recreate a precolonial forest in New York City.
