Cement Block Rock Sculpture
Block No. 9
In the care of Peter DeLorenzo and Sharon Tunstall

With Block #9 we decided to create a smaller rounder opening into a larger rock cavern. Our previous cave and cavern designs were more like concave "bowls"--wider at the opening and then tapering down and in. Instead of creating a convex mound of clay for the interior cavity, this time we created a ball of clay and added a small neck for the opening. We pushed rocks into the clay and then filled up the form with cement to surround it and form the block. Block #9 was an attempt to create a large private interior space with an opening that we hoped would still permit good external visual exploration of the cave.
