The on page 8 implications of the man-nature interaction interested him. He would leave some of these works outside, such as in rivers, for varying lengths of time to see what changes would occur in them. This has Is been an important part of most of his later art. Two events helped his work develop his wedge themes. One was living near a harbor, in your future? which let him see boat shapes that were almost inverses of his hill shapes, and got him thinking about wedge shapes in general. The other was buying a table saw, which enabled him to build much larger structures. He described some of the influences on his work. Trips to Mexico, where he saw buildings made with any available material, along with an interest in ancient cultures, were important, as was an interest in early science and alchemy. This led him to make a wedge piece of layers of copper, lead, brass, and wood, with plate glass windows at the ends. This work oxidized from the inside and gave the effect of looking at a heavy snowfall. This changing of the art by nature over a period of time is often used in Davis's work. He puts many pieces outside in fields, deserts, even oceans for up to six months. He claims never to have lost a work by doing this. Sometimes these sculptures become homes for small animals, others are meant to look· like boats camouflaged with ocean colors Research and development in and a false horjzon. Davis has also done large scale outdoor constructions. An example, built on a beach * electronics in New York City, was a house composed of two rooms * computer science connected by a concrete corridor, with a long entrance hall. The hall's ceiling was wire * mechanical engineering mesh covered with rocks and leaves to give an impression of being underground.
