Earth Wall is one of four creations in the Presidio by British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy.
From the Earth Wall site at the Presidio:
Like nearby Tree Fall, Earth Wall asks viewers to think about what separates "nature" from "built." In Goldsworthy's signature style, he made Earth Wall with materials found on site. The sculpture's six foot wide sphere was shaped using naturally curved Presidio eucalyptus branches. Clay taken from the courtyard during the club's renovation was used to bury the sculpture within a rammed earth wall. Goldsworthy then partially dug out the sphere, evoking the sense of discovery that accompanies archaeology research at the Presidio.
