Created on an English hillside, specially for train travelers
migrating in and out of London, the wheat field design was
colorfully enhanced by the addition of 9,000 hand planted
red salvias with the help of land owner Michael Gaymer and
his family.
"I
was hopeful that my first European image would be an artwork
in the aesthetic realm of the ancient English earthworks or
the current crop circle phenomenon, but it was great fun to
be an American artist promoting a German beer through a Scottish
Importer with the direction of Mountain View, an English advertising
agency."

"For
17 years Stan Herd has been transforming American fields into
vast works of art that can be appreciated only from the sky.
Now the crop artist is working his magic in the English countryside."

Rogers, for Telegraph Magazine, 1998
