Michael Grab: The Harmony of the Stones

The Canadian artist Michael Grab creates and then photographs temporary sculptures and installations using rocks and other natural materials he finds in the environment. What gives his work its magic is that the structures are held in place by nothing more than gravity. There is no glue, string or support, no tricks with Photoshop, all that holds these structures together is the perfect balance of one stone upon another. He calls this ‘gravity glue’.

It is a process that demands considerable patience. He must remain physically and mentally focused for many hours, working in a meditative state that draws on a deep and subtle harmony between the artist, the stones, and the environment around him.

Michael Grab speaks with Talking Pictures about the sensitivity and immersion involved in stone balancing.
