… or turned into something that makes us laugh or simply pause. Here are some images from a couple of artists who put their own twist on natural formations. Very cool, right?
Sculptures by artist Hirotoshi Ito:
And Shane Hart’s Upala Yoga Stone Sculptures:
“The art and practice of stone balancing has been cultivated around the world for thousands of years. It’s known by names such as Land Art, Awareness Art, Petromancy and Earthworks. I call it Upala Yoga (Stone Yoga). Upala and Yoga are Sanskrit words; Upala means stone and Yoga means union. Upala Yoga is temporal, hours can be spent on a sculpture and a subtle vibration or light wind can take it down in an instant. It’s a meditative art that evokes a sense of amazement, focuses our attention in the moment, and challenges us to examine our attachment to the material world.”
What do you do with rocks?
