I had been looking for some kind of stone to carve for the first 4 months (out of the 5 month residency). I think it is actually a good thing that people are mostly not throwing away rocks - why would you? Still, it was good for me. I hadn’t even intended to leave it in the concrete initially, I had never carved concrete so did not know what to expect. I quickly changed my mind after studying the form, and after some careful shaping and polishing I couldn’t be happier with the result. The same rubble pile also produced the flat stone that became the base, after some digging around. They are pinned using recovered brass components that I took from an antique chandelier. https://www.benjaminmefford.com/gallery daily 0.75 2022-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1584690884246-DNYHFUVGTPOTXHBD18EA/Frogger+edited+reduced.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587969783142-9683L74H6QDCHWMVTDCM/Mefford+1.+Spike.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1588578657996-OR8IKXMR3VG5HL7YIPYA/Shelter+web.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1553624427134-1Z2BJMFWZXRO88YH1S3H/3+Love+Your+Supporters.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1588491401576-ED38EGQM8D0PN41DB8QV/bumble.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1553626614859-IMPIX7XYRI0NDOXHUDV4/Mefford+12-5+Koi.jpg Gallery https://www.benjaminmefford.com/about daily 1.0 2022-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1522361122788-LHP7IMZMEQCANZLO610Z/Mefford+portrait+2.jpg About Photo credit: Adam Dabrowski https://www.benjaminmefford.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-09-19 https://www.benjaminmefford.com/more daily 0.75 2021-09-27 https://www.benjaminmefford.com/atlas-drugged daily 0.75 2020-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116236585-N0TZLLRT4XCR6DDT9A93/2I0.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116255748-FV87XPV54DYNIVSJS7IL/20.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116248427-F2J5Y86639QK1KAZHT9P/B20.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116256850-KUNXY41VS0EECAIS2MQZ/B20C20.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116263703-PB4S07SZ4LNT2IR6AP4X/BCM.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116289273-RB25BZF25ZGKH7HFAWTS/C.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116274526-91ZT0ZE7SL397B6AOPWL/Cluster.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116282884-RZ4UAG9SL22UM178OGZ4/M20+oval.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587116291102-6J29K616F9OK2RQI512C/M20.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587379021386-48DQCR5J1T04MDCL64J6/Atlas+Drugged+Map+complete.jpg Atlas Drugged https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a76d592914e6bc972170347/1587971388327-KQF9V6HSSSB8TF5AKMNW/racc_orange_primary.jpg Atlas Drugged -
