"The scale of the Spiral Jetty tends to fluctuate depending on where the viewer happens to be. Size determines an object, but scale determines art (...) This description echoes and reflect Brancusi sketch of James Joice as a 'spiral ear' because it suggest both e a visual and an aural scale. Here is a reinforcement and prolongation of spirals that reveberates up and down space and time. So it is that one ceases to consider art in term of an 'object'" R. Smithson, 1972
