An installation Herd completed in 1994, Countryside, which was an image of a pastoral Kansas landscape on an acre of property owned by Donald Trump in New York City, was the subject of an independent film by Chris Ordal called Earthwork.[6] The drama stars Oscar-nominated actor John Hawkes as Herd. The film's Kansas premiere, in Herd's adopted hometown of Lawrence, took place September 10, 2010, at the Lawrence Arts Center. Earthwork won awards at more than 50 film festivals in the United States alone. Filmed on location in Lawrence and New York City, it tells the true story of Herd's transformation of a large, trash-strewn, barren lot near a graffiti-laced underground railway tunnel inhabited with the homeless, into Countryside.
Herd made several trips to Havana to create Rosa Blanca in 2001,[7] an image of a white rose in honor of the 19th-century Cuban poet José Martí.
