Artist Arranges Stones In Stunning Patterns On The Beach, Finds It Very Therapeutic (30 Pics)
Jon Foreman discovered land art while in college and immediately fell in love with it. He felt that the natural world had more in it to be explored, particularly where he lives, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Since the area has an extensive coastline, a huge part of Foreman's work revolves around the stones he finds near the sea. Using everything from tiny pebbles to big rocks, the artist surprises beachgoers with mesmerizing arrangements that never cease to amaze.
"I create using many natural materials but stone has proven to be the material which I can manipulate best. Be it color, angle, shape, size, placement, spacing," Foreman told Bored Panda. "Typically, I either start with a rough idea of what I'd like to do or no idea whatsoever! Then I collect what I can carry and start by placing stone by stone, steadily losing myself in the process and disconnecting from the stress of everyday life."

How did the artist find these stones in the environment of the size and color he needed?
What a perfect example of how our minds find beauty and solace in recognizable patterns.
How beautiful! I had to look twice to figure out how they made this one.
I totally did this when I was at the beach and I thought I was being such a nerd now I know I was just completely artistic and that it is considered therapeutic I just thought I was being obsessive lol!
This one must have taken Hours of patience and steady hands to create 😍😍
I know this sounds terrible because they're obviously proud with this creation but I really wish this stunning image didn't have the person in it 😞
For some reason the rougher stones then the smooth make me uncomfortable.
Imagine the insane amount of creativity, time & patience it must've taken to come up with the designs and implement them. I'm just floored..
And actually quite a bit of healthy/quiet exercise!
