Stone Balance. 24 January 2016. Colorado, USA.
Not sure if i would have the patience to rebuild this one. . nice that it worked out this time. creation time, including initial variations, 5ish hours. . . brrrrrrrrrrr… lifespan? who knows i left it up. but when the slightest breeze blows, there will be nothing left but the base. why? cuz all the rocks require the total weight above to hold position. the extreme tension involved in suspending the huge top, essentially over air, on top of a precarious scissor formation, requires some serious mental & physical endurance, not to mention steady hands. no need for a gym. not much of a people person anyway.

Jen Clausen – Gravity Glue. Your posts reminded me of this.
Seems a good cheat to me. :)
Wow..!!
You amaze me! This is beyond awesome!
Realy impressive
Amazing looking and balance.
You absolutely routinely amaze me and, believe me, that is not easy. I am the most jaded person I know. I don’t know how many people get it, but I feel like I do. That’s why I’ve introduced your work to my young granddaughters and they get it too. The youngest one, almost immediately. That reaffirmed for me just how special you are.
Easy with magnetic rocks. When I find some. lol
Uou should share more of personal experience… makes it more… balance!! Keep the beautifull work :-)
Exquisite!

That’s awesome but you need to get out more dude
My 6 year old son loves your installations. He proudly made 3 “gravity glues” in the stream leading into the sea today…
How wonderful is this photo! “Lost in the world of the senses.” Entranced, instead.
Had so much snow East that I started Snowstackings.

You get the works record for patience, I think.
Bravo !!!!!!! <3 it...
I thought you always knocked them down for safety reasons…
i don’t deal in universals. i take each circumstance as it comes, with safety in mind. . this spot was fine to leave it… especially since i’m returning to it today.
Who the hell thinks there is a safety issue here ? Just enjoy
Crazy! But georgious-
Five hours! Dude hope you’ve thawed out!

That is awesome!
“not much of a people person anyway.” And yet, here you are giving us glimpses into a world and a talent we all respect and envy. Your art speaks for you. And that’s pretty amazing.
That’s what I was thinking!
Someday you’ll have to photoshop a truly impossible design just to see if we are all convinced you have no limits. I’m not much of a people person either, so how about I just silently watch sometime. Spring works for me :)
How big is that top rock?
almost too big to lift with one arm. not sure about linear measurements..
That’s enough of an answer.
Just couldn’t tell if it was a small hand sized one, or something significantly bigger. Quite impressive!
Gwynne Platz : I was wondering the same thing. Difficult (if not impossible) to gauge actual sizes without something of reference. I thought they were all small rocks until you asked and Michael responded!
Красота и съзнание!
Cantilever…I’m a believer.
:)
Think you would need at least 8 hands to get this amazing structure up – awesome
If only you had eight hands.
Damn. Respect! Cool composition!
Oh my goodness! How impressive!
