This series is based on an idea of a sort of psycho-spiritual blueprint, or kind of like, in the parlance of contemporary art, what they refer to as the construction of identity. Some of the images are based on other paintings and sculptures I've done....see www.benbrandt.net. The piles of dirt and/or sawdust are the evidence of work; getting to the bottom by digging, and the picture molding pieces, I think of as little signifiers of transition, from one thing to another, or one world to another. The scaffolding is the framework, or the armature that provides support, for the temporary, shifting, and unrefined forms.

A series of stacked rocks is formally known as a “cairn” and in my part of the world they are normally found on hiking trails. The reason for them on trails is to help mark the trails for hikers. Outside of hiking they are usually used as landmarks.
That’s all fine and good.
My wife is a massage therapist and while I don’t know the first thing about massage, I am in charge of her online presence for her business. Over the years I have done tons of research that includes looking at countless other massage websites. One thing I’ve noticed is that somehow massage and stacked rocks (normally the smooth stones used for hot stone massage) go hand in hand. I have even used this photo on my wife’s Facebook page in the past.
What I’m curious about is the history between cairns and massage. How did someone decide that a cairn would be a good symbol to represent massage therapy? Any thoughts or comments?

Vegetable stack - own creation :-) using up leftovers e.g. layers of creamy potato bake, pumpkin and honey-glazed carrots. The base is a squashed-up vegetable and chickpea pattie.

Evening view of the mountains from Stack Rock Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The parking area is closed, so I had to stop by the side of the road. The red to orange colors on the trees are Red Maple flowers and/or developing seeds. The greens are probably oaks in bloom. The larger buds on the tree in the front bottom right belong to a Fraser Magnolia. They are just now starting to bloom along the Parkway.
I love Louise Denton's "stacked rocks" photo so much that I had to do one myself! Same but different!
