Ginger Burrell: "We walk by them, over them, on them every day. But until we stop and pick them up, touch them and get them wet, we forget the beauty of a simple rock. In a time when most experiences come from viewing rather than doing, this piece reminds us of the joy of simple and abundant objects while at the same time exploring what it takes to make a thing what it is. What makes a rock a rock? Is a photo of a rock a rock? Is a cube with rock photos a rock? Is a rock on a screen a rock? A Japanese stab-bound book features an exploration of the shape and form of rocks and the interaction between them. Rock cubes and real rocks collected in Northern California allow the viewer to become an active participant."
