Confluence in Montana

The stone for this piece was found in the chilly rushing waters at the confluence of the Madison & Jefferson Rivers where they become one, forming the Missouri River, the longest river in North America. How curious the way they erode, and polish in the flow. Who else through the ages idly and gently rubbed these stones before casting them back into the currant? How improbable to come upon any one stone at any particular moment. A modernist composition in red brick and yellow ochre.

The beads joining this enticing stone are beads of antique Afghan carnelian. 

This work is a part of The Movement of Stone project. 

Wooden wall hanger sold separately for this piece, and is available upon request.
