Michael Grab is an artist
that has been 'rock balancing' since 2008. Much of his recent work has
been done around the Boulder, Colorado area. Grab finds the process both
spiritual and therapeutic. On his site gravityglue.com, Grab
explains:
"The most fundamental
element of balancing in a physical sense is finding some kind of 'tripod'
for the rock to stand on. Every rock is covered in a variety of tiny to
large indentations that can act as a tripod for the rock to stand upright,
or in most orientations you can think of with other rocks. By paying close
attention to the feeling of the rocks, you will start to feel even the
smallest clicks as the notches of the rocks in contact are moving over one
another.
Parallel to the physical
element of finding tripods, the most fundamental non-physical element is
harder to explain through words. In a nutshell, I am referring to
meditation, or finding a zero point or silence within yourself. Some
balances can apply significant pressure on your mind and your patience.
The challenge is overcoming any doubt that may
arise."
On gravityglue you will find

and an active blog about his thoughts that accompany his
work.
