"Balancing stones on sticks. Documentation drawing. Walking along a old quarry in the Meyerton District I found these stones laying just underneath the waters surface. From a small forest close by, I cut some sticks and placed them into the water and balanced the stones on the sticks. The unexpected beauty at that moment was to be found in the reflection on the water. The work only lasts for the duration of the documentation. Ephemeral. A short moment in time never to be repeated again. Documented." - Strijdom van der Merwe
