Stones Coming Conscious

Even the rocks are alive in Halfland.

I went looking for the Time Flies making stash and was delighted to find EVERYTHING I'll need to make killer good fly puppets already in the bag. Literally. Every aspect of 1/2L. has a labeled brown grocery bag and all the bags are each living in their own cubby hole.

Inside the Fly bag I found a little cellophane sack labeled, "Stones Coming Conscious". It held a dozen sculpted, flesh-colored clay "stones" that look as though they have human forms somewhat emerging from their rock shape, heads, shoulders, arms, spines, knees, bodies curled and crouched. I must have made these in the early oaughts.

I love the suface texture with its cracks and lichen, um, I'm lichen' the moss?

  3. Thanks for the interest, Ben. One day I will show some pics--the very next time someone's coming over and I'm forced to pick up the place! Right now it's looking like a junk yard.

    Rachael! This is incredible! I can't get over these Interweb Wonders. I am rightly blown away by your work, (linked in previous post comments).

    So much so, I'd like to post about it on Tuesday. Your nature sculpture work is coming from a similar realm, as it were. Where plants merge with human forms. Except you've made fine art instead of the more childlike style I'm making this in. You inspire me to explore a more stylized expression at some point.

    In hte last photo your stone looks like a man's back and his arm wrapped around his knees, his head is bent down.
    He probably is relieved to be re discovered.
