My Stone Sculpture 2010 WIP

Work In Progress***These are the latest stacked stone sculptures that I have made here in Turkey. Originally I got the idea to make these from visiting Cappadocia back in 1977. Years later having forgotten about the rock formations there I started to make these. Upon a return visit a few years ago I realized where the original inspiration came from.These sculptures are from around Bodrum and Bitez. In most cases they only last a day. They are incredibly fragile so even a heavy wind can knock them down. They are built with the idea that wounds and hurt feelings can be diminished by making these. In ancient times this was the norm for the passage of travellers around Greece and In Turkey. Piled stones have always been a way of marking special places or grave sites. I hope you enjoy my humble stacked stone sculptures. In some cases I wish the weather was better but when the mood calls and the stones reach out to me, I must build them. I have been doing this since I was a boy in Maine. Different rocks produce different kinds of sculpture and in the end you have to work with what is immediately around you. Many times they have fallen before i could even complete them.
