I Collect Rocks, Paint Eyes On Them And Return Them To The Landscape To Be Found Or Lost Forever (10 Pics)
On a recent residency with Q Bank Gallery in Queenstown, Tasmania I began a project of transforming collected rocks into painted eyes and returning them to the landscape to be found or lost forever.
Queenstown has an extensive mining history and there were many unusual rocks everywhere. So I began a collection and what started as something for myself grew into a treasure hunt/community art project.

Creepy but fanatastic! In my village the local school children paint hand-sized stones and hide them in various locations. If you find one you take a photo of it, post the pic on their facebook site and there hide it again for someone else. I've not actually taken part by I do occasionally see the painted stones and think it's rather sweet.

I consider nature beautiful and perfect. I'm not entirely happy to see this "movement" (I"m sure, thousands of people will copy it). I don't like the rock and stone towers all around as well. I go to hike, walk to the woods, the shores, the mountains because of the "plain" beauty. I just don't want to see anything made by humans. I'm also a bit concerned about the paint... So maybe I'm the only one who's not a fan. Do it girl, just please don't spread around in the nature.

so..your point is you dont like Art in nature? However life imitates art and nature! Everywhere you go nature depicts something, a stick on a log could look like an object. Depends how you perceive anything you come across but I think this is fun and brilliant idea, and personally I see the amazing artist in this. You go girl! I will keep an eye out from now on!!

The paintings are so life like...If I were out for an evening stroll and happen to come across one of those stones, I would have to change my pants! 🤣😂

I love the idea, and mad skills. But I'm somehow sorry for her trouble -why she's not putting her logo on it, or something.

That's just weird. And I feel sorry for any little kids that come across one....nightmares for weeks. Glad they're not around here.
