“The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.”
~ Andre Breton
An important part of why I enjoy playing with rocks is that it naturally encourages “play”. Many of the more surreal looking balances result from playing and experimenting with various points of contact. With experience has also come intuition for what sizes and shapes of rocks I choose to combine. One of the elements I like to incorporate into most balances is a sense of tension through surrealism. More tension usually challenges my ability further, and is often more contemplative to realize, for me at least. I love making these things sooo much! ha. :D
