Abstract
Land Art, also known as Earth Art, emerged in the United States in the 1960s against the backdrop of environmental movements and the counter-art zeitgeist. By engaging with the relationship between humans and nature, Land Art employs natural materials to create works that aim to rekindle human attention to and perception of nature. Through a wide variety of creations, Land Art seeks to awaken sensory capacities dulled by industrial civilization. This paper explores Land Art from three perspectives: the body’s return to the world and the “site-specificity” of artworks, the “psychophysical field” of perception and the primordial sensing of Land Art, and the temporality of natural spaces and the experiential dimensions of Land Art. By constructing psychophysical fields within natural environments through bodily engagement, Land Artists incorporate temporal and spatial elements to evoke human sensory perception, re-situating the body and its sensory faculties within nature. In the interwoven spatiotemporal field of nature, Land Art establishes an inseparable connection between humans and the natural world.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
