please start uploading again! You're art is a perfect example of life's perpetual resourcefulness. The never ending cycle that all things come from works forgotten, and all works will be forgotten. Your art is almost a perfect retelling of Ecclesiastes.
My comment on this: It is the lack of intention, the joy in nature and its fascination that immediately enchanted me. It takes a portion of inner peace, maturity, serenity, joy of playing, nature in its naturalness, to let it be unchanged and yet to take a subtle interest in it without interfering too much or appearing naïve, not reproducible and unique. Even if a person intervenes creatively here, he does it in an extremely careful way, which inspires me, the photos are professional. I imagine it very vividly, finding a suitable place, finding suitable stones, the right time, trying until everything is ready to make a successful picture, fantastic! What am I supposed to do in an expensive and cumbersome museum, somewhere in the wilderness of cold and depraved cities, hello ?! What an effort, what a concentration, simply refreshing, invigorating and inspiring! Yes, as far as I'm concerned, keep thinking I'm not crazy, I really like it now.
What if you carved in the stones with stonecutting discs? Would that "fortify or solidify" the structure? Or would you be forced to find the same balance points, so no such tool would be of any help? You could of course use tile adhesive as well.
I found you because my autistic nearly 4 year old is balancing all sorts of things on each other in amazing and beautiful ways. He started with Jenga blocks. Now it’s everything. His daycare teachers told me and said it was amazing but I thought they were just trying to be nice. No, it’s actually amazing. I don’t know why he does it but it brings him a lot of pleasure. He seems to love when it falls so he can try a different configuration all over again.
This stones are like people. Everyone of them is different and has its own history. And they have work perfectly together to keep their balance. And then comes some intruder and destroys this...😢
