Hari OM These (and others like them) use materials from the environment in which they are placed; it's a big thing in the UK, but I've also seen this sort of thing in Australia, so I guess it's a bit of a 'movement'... Yxx
In the north in Canada, they are called inukshuks and the Inuit people used them to convey information to fellow hunters. Now, it seems that anyone who sees a pile of stones piles them up.
When I enlarge the picture, I see the structure (I assumed stone at the base, too, but can be wrong)is built from the ground up. An interesting kind of stacked stone.
Oh yes I agree as I learned with all the 'interesting' pieces on the NC Art Museum's outdoors trail.
ReplyDeleteI like the stack

Very interesting. Love how there is some pretty plant life between the stacks.
ReplyDeleteAre these just whimsical art pieces or do they have signifcance?
