Art who? Is he Jean Gaudet's brother?
Yeah, yeah...that's an old joke. There are some tremendously talented artists living in les Iles, some of whom using alabaster to create sculptures. I often wondered what unpolished alabaster looked like. This year I found a chunk.
The 'chunk' happened to be about the size of a mini-van. It had a gun-metal colour and was as hard as a rock. A hard rock.
Note: if someone Googles 'hard rock café', they might just end up on my blog. Stupid beautiful internet.
The alabaster chunk, au naturel, is a work of art. I'll post some textural images later so you can see the many sides of this magnificent poo-like blob. It stood alone. The cliff behind, predominantly sandstone, had eroded away and left the alabaster exposed. I'll be curious to see how it looks in a year's time. Wind and water work slowly but relentlessly, kind of like Ned Bowes.
