1987 Fir and elm wood ~ 5 x 3 x 4 feet "I took some pictures of rocks while walking in the woods, and then stapled the very best few to a studio wall where the idea for a horizontal rock triptych evolved and was worked up in a large format in cardboard. I tried to preserve the precarious audacity of the tilted volumes by perching them on extremely thin supports emanating from a single large bracket block. This type of supporting structure was inspired by my exposure to Japanese architecture."
