n
n
nIndecided to call today Stone Bridge Day, because it is thenanniversary of an amazing artist named MichaelnGrab creating a beautiful stone bridge.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nMichaelnGrab isn’t mostly a bridge builder. Mostly, he is fellow who playsnwith gravity!
n
n
n
nAsna matter of fact, his website is called Gravity Glue.
n
n
n
nGrabnis a master balancer, and when I say “balancer”…
n
n
n
…I mean he’s crazy good at balancing rocks! |
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nAndnwhen I say “master”…
n
n
n
…I mean an insane amount of mastery – that looks more like magic! |
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n Grab’snartwork takes an enormous amount of concentration, dedication, maybeneven meditation! He has to be patient, and he has to have a highntolerance for being cold, maybe even cold-and-wet (which is a muchnharder kind of cold for most of us).
n
n
n
nHenhas to have a really high tolerance for failure!
n
n
n
- n
- Herenis a short video of how Grab builds a stone arch in moving water!
n
n
n
n
n
- n
- Andnhere is a wonderful rock balancing video with severalnsequences of failure, plus lots of slo-mo and rewind tricks.
n
n
n
n
n
- n
- Another stone balancing artist tells us that WE, too, can learn to balance stones.
