Collection: Stone Fruit Works by Jesse J Ring

Stone Fruit is a site for contemplation.It is an orchard, a cemetery, a well, a beach.

The tumbled mass of the scree is a response to cultural sites of accumulation where humans distribute emotion, memory, and ideas through material. The Caladesi Island shell tree, Seattle’s gum wall, clootie wells, penny trees, and the basins of fountains are examples of such spaces.

These sites are ongoing community sculptures, locations where visitors leave thoughts as material in symbolic gesture. Stone Fruit invites you to participate with the installation through sculpting a small trace in soft clay to leave behind as part of the work. All contributions will be fired at the close of the exhibition and permanently added to the work.
