The Big Rock

This piece of artwork is located right next to the building in yesterday's post. The stones are pink granite from Quebec with some grass and a small fir tree on top

[Babs]

Not very impressive artwork, three lumps of granite with a fir tree on top. I hope they didn't pay lot for it

[Diana]

A most unusual artwork, I wonder how big that tree will grow.

[Inga Johansson]

I'm thinking of the human body and how we think of it like blocks when we do sketches.

[winghong_ho]

Nice display.

[John Falconer]

I like the idea of the tree on the top!! Well photographed.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice contrast to the lines of the lines of the architecture in the background.

The artwork is quite a contrast with it's surroundings. It will be interesting to see how big the tree grows perched up there!

[Bill]

Any idea who the artist is, or the story behind the piece? That would give a bit of context.

[Petespost]

Very unusual, you must have creative architects

[Bill Davidson]

I find the building behind with the glass structure and the reflections interesting.

How comical with the small tree on top!

@bill_gk Bill it was a collaborative effort between two artists. Catherine Burgess and Sandra Bromley. It was unveiled in 1995. It is supposed to represent the landscape of the Hoodoos in Southern Alberta
