Coming across any of his work on a hike would immediately induce a Blair Witch-esque psychosis within me

It doesn't matter how hard you try. I just don't find this type of stuff interesting. The artwork, as well as it's stated purpose, are neat to look at and gather up some interesting thoughts but for the majority of this film, I was bored. A 90 minute movie suddenly felt like 3 hours. It didn't seem like they had any story to tell really. Just slap some footage of the artist working and describing his piece and there you go. Some of it looks pretty and it's post-production isn't terrible but this movie just wouldn't end.
Plus, why did we have to see a Sheep giving birth? What was the purpose of that scene?
