Click this link: the site to which you will go fills the screen with a series of views of an upstream tailings impoundment. Rather conventional.
Then the screen brings up an advert for a larger spread in the current issue of Harpers, that venerable old liberal insititution. Be patient and slowly a series of the most amazing photos appears–slowly, one-by-one, and each worth waiting for. There is no political agenda here, or if there is, the art is perfect enough to transcend the polemic.
While in the mood for aesthetics, click this link and see geology turned art.
Another artist working in the rocks mined from who knows where, is my neighbour; you can see his mined-product turned aethetic at this link.
