rocks

An ongoing longterm project. Very personal. My major works. Digital images of fascinating geological rock formations in the Peak District, UK. The form of these rocks fascinate me. They are old, very old, approx 320-322 Ma. These imposing rocks are nature's ready-made sculptures. The possibilities for artistic development are endless. More images to come.

A typical scene wherever kinderscoutian gritstone rock is seen on the surface. Loose rocks scatter the ground. Bigger boulders randomely lie alongside larger fixed monoliths. Peat soil is evident. It's a challenging envrionment to walk on, requiring concentration and care. alfpix.art Chris Chapman. colour image.
