🎨 Flying Object - original painting
Years ago I was with two friends hiking in the Totes Gebirge (Death Mountains) plateau in Austria. The weather was shitty so instead of keeping walking higher up we started to balance stones. I took many photos from our creations and one of them ended up as my reference for this painting.
Flying Object, 1998
Acrylic on fiberboard
30 x 40 cm / 11.81 x 15.75 in
Here are some shots from our stone balancing performance:
Here is the progress of the painting:
An animated slide show of the progress can bee seen here:

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe where you are sitting at the edge of the great crevasse, it gave my stomach a flip just looking at it. You obviously have no fear of heights.
I love the inspiration and of course the resulting piece is amazing.
Wow. Nice

this is awesome - I didn't know that your balancing act dates that far back! I only remember the ones you did at the Schwarza river.
I suppose you are aware of the Inuksuk of the Inuit in Canada, Alaska and Greenland.
