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
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

I seem to recall trying to use it as a balance with stones … Continue reading Basalt Deconstruction – Precarious Stones Rock Art

A little good news — Art is all around us!!!
http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/twig-saints-chris-kenny-twig-art/ The world is full of art! This artist really found that inner child we so often deny and delivered a world so full of joy and wonder, that I want to run out to the forest and explore! It reminded me of the random rock and branch sculptures I would make during walks in … Continue reading A little good news — Art is all around us!!!
Goat-ish – Stalled due to Covid 19?
The second ceramics challenge this past semester was to make sculptural objects that had components of animal, vegetable, or mineral. As usual, showing a variety of hand-building techniques. Before the school shutdown due to Covid 19, I was able to complete the building of several pieces. Most were bisqued and I was on time to … Continue reading Goat-ish – Stalled due to Covid 19?
