This IS NOT A Stone (#58)

"If there is anything we crave in this day and age it is time, silence and attention. (...) Being human has nothing to do with having and grabbing. To really be is to sit under the mulberry tree and watch the sun go down.

In the old days people used to dusk; they would unwind on their couch in front of the house."

Hans Magnus Ensenberger

Theme

Choosing this simple, mediocre sand stone in 1986 to be his focal point for meditation and thoughts, artist Jan van Krieken doesn't need much more; a symbol for the slipping of time, a bit of eternity amidst an ever faster moving and changing world.
