Another multiple stacking structure... the initial stack placed on the plateau of. a larger boulder (the whole base is out of frame)... it started with three big stones and I wasn't sure what to add next, so I wandered about the beach until finding a few other stones I could balance on top... I especially … Continue reading Sun-bleached Details – Precarious Stones Rock Art
On The Shoulders of Giants – Precarious Stones Rock Art
Ok, so maybe this title is a little obvious, but what can you do when you find a perfect giant boulder, but build upon it? The boulder has to have a good five to six foot diameter... the small stones on top are balancing on the point of the boulder. I didn't think I could … Continue reading On The Shoulders of Giants – Precarious Stones Rock Art
Of All The People – Precarious Stones Rock Art
To be honest, I really don't remember why I chose this title. Perhaps it reminded me of someone I thought it could be very unlikely, but welcome to meet while making these sculptures... I've meditated on it and feel it was a response to where I placed the sculpture in the composition... off to my … Continue reading Of All The People – Precarious Stones Rock Art
Subtle Colourings – Precarious Stones Rock Art
I kept coming back to this one and taking it apart, then rebuilding it with new stones found further down the shoreline... I was getting tired from crying around the stones (it might be hard to tell, but the big one is at least 50 pounds), and I moved around many before settling on these... … Continue reading Subtle Colourings – Precarious Stones Rock Art
How Do. I Stack Up? – Precarious Stones Rock Art
This side of the island had. many more rocks submerged in the water then on land. I knew I'd only see their colours when they dried. Fortunately, the sun was hot and dried them quickly. I thought they might have more red in them. The other challenge was seeing what I was shooting in the … Continue reading How Do. I Stack Up? – Precarious Stones Rock Art
General Curiosities – Precarious Stones Rock Art
The warm sunny day I kayaked out to the little island in Riviere-des-Prairies, I discovered that many people do the. same. I was uncertain that any sculpture I build would remain untouched, especially after a young family stopped by to see what. I was doing and told me they'd visit to take a. closer look … Continue reading General Curiosities – Precarious Stones Rock Art
Calling In The Tide – Precarious Stones Rock Art
Angles for the photo have a great impact on the tension I'm showing, but I would love to have shown you a video walk around of the sculpture... It sits very tenderly on the side of a rounded boulder and totters ever so slightly as the. wind whistles around it. I could have called this … Continue reading Calling In The Tide – Precarious Stones Rock Art
Not All Is Grey – Precarious Stones Rock Art
It was mid August when I finally rowed my. kayak out to the small island sitting a few hundred yards from my place, the water was low and the shoreline was littered with the best rocks imaginable for building my monuments... only these rocks were all grey and presumably of the same shale... this inspired … Continue reading Not All Is Grey – Precarious Stones Rock Art
