Made in St. Paul: Gravity-defying rock sculptures, by Eagan rock-balancer and photographer Peter Juhl, is a testament to the incredible art of rock balancing.
Peter Juhl, one of a small group of rock-balancing artists around the world, has written a book on the subject and regularly teaches workshops at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, where he shares his expertise with others.
Rock balancing is an art form that requires patience, precision, and a deep understanding of the natural world. It involves carefully selecting and placing rocks on top of each other, often in seemingly impossible configurations, to create stunning sculptures that appear to defy gravity.
Juhl's work is a perfect example of this art form, with his sculptures featuring intricate patterns and shapes that seem to float in mid-air. His photographs of these sculptures are equally impressive, capturing the beauty and elegance of the balanced rocks.
As a rock-balancing artist, Juhl has developed a unique approach to his craft, one that combines his love of nature with his passion for art. He spends hours searching for the perfect rocks, often in remote locations, and then carefully crafts them into intricate sculptures that showcase their natural beauty.
Juhl's book on rock balancing is a comprehensive guide to the art form, covering everything from the basics of rock selection and placement to advanced techniques for creating complex sculptures. The book is filled with stunning photographs of Juhl's work, as well as step-by-step instructions and tips for aspiring rock-balancing artists.
In addition to his book, Juhl also teaches workshops at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, where he shares his expertise with others. These workshops are a great opportunity for people to learn about rock balancing and try their hand at creating their own sculptures.
