ABO as Fine Art ...Sneak Peek

This is a vertical wall hung art work that I just completed for a show in July. It will not make much sense to those outside the flint knapping world. If you have ever searched for flint and found it in layers it is a very exciting moment full of possibilities. I have always liked the concept of layering in art and so this work is created from the material found in my debitage pit that is layered from years of working ABO and the material comes from layers of rock in the area (for the most part). This work is kinda like a totem to my work with flint and the formation that the rock comes from. I use the format that ag core soil samples are displayed in as a presentation of my idea. Enjoy

I think it is 4 feet maybe.

That is interesting...

I have wondered how difficult it would be to get at least one or as many different types as possible from each state and make a point to represent it. Not matching the point to the state but just the type of rocks that are found in each state. Put them all on a board to display. I think some states have several kinds and others only have one or two.
