The Jacobi Stone Garden (1997): [KPT Bryce 2.0 & 3.0] Inspired in part by both Burning Man, and Reggae on the River--this dynamo was mastered over an entire week. Something about this image brings about feelings of Easter Sunday, for me. Maybe it's because these rocks are alive, burrowing through the ground, morphing, and merging with one another like rabbits--yet all at the speed of magnetically biofusioned mercury with steel conglomerate. Snails move at nearly the speed of light in relative comparison to these leaden slugs. These sentient stones represent the archetype of the eternal return, metamorphasized into hard and heavy matter that yearns, burns, and transforms itself in order to transcend it's very nature--reaching for the cotton-candy pink heaven of a sky. Some of these stone stacks required nearly 10,000 years to evolve. Imagine how long it might actually take one of these rocks to get to heaven. By the way, this same scene was also rendered with two other eye-kissingly beautiful skies--and is animated. And there is a direct topical link to my poem, "If Rocks had Wings." |
