The project of recreating a the small community I am among in effigies of painted rocks is developing some momentum. I find myself more and more reminded of individuals by the rocks.
This afternoon a local wandered by and asked what I was doing. He began to look at the pile of eyes staring at him and agreed that one I held up looked like someone he knew.
It was late in the brief afternoon when the sunlight is low and sallow.
Lately I have begun to decompose the features into individual eyes, nose, ears and mouths.
They will act as pieces in a board game.
Perhaps made available in a little canvas bag that can have instruction on the outside.
Love this Tom. I remember you talking about this project. Stone Age Man and Woman. sounds like a Leunig cartoon. Definite poetic soul to the work.
