Signs in Stone

Photography work by Lenka Holubec


When we are on a shoreline, walking over the blocks of dolomite,
an intriguing pattern on stone nearby may catch our eye.
Once we truly emerge ourselves into seeking a meaning of that pattern,
a revelation of an inspirational sign, and an artifact, is within our grasp.

The work reveals as artifacts the countless variations of signs, found on dolomite stones constituting the backbone of the Bruce Peninsula - a part of the Niagara Escarpment. Slowly and meticulously sculpted by the action of wind, water and ice over millions of years, intricate signs in stone inspire us to contemplate the origins of creativity.

As Lava Metamorphoses, Energy Patterns, Blending Patterns I & II, and Of Stones and Riddles, the work Signs in Stone is also a segment of the cycle Connecting with Stone.

All images in this sample originate at Bruce Peninsula National Park on Lake Huron.
