ACTIVE/CREATE/GIVE: Gravity glue

There is a fabulous brook running down through these woods. Find a spot, collect some stones and pebbles together to make a balancing stones sculpture. You'll need focus, patience, keenness of touch, an eye for drama. It might take a couple of minutes or an hour.

Jonna Jinton, Swedish artist and photographer, explains how she got into it. "The very first time I tried balancing stones was back in 2010. I saw some stone sculptures in a park, when an old, wise man told me that it was a symbol for the balance of nature. I liked that idea, and after that I started making easy stone sculptures. After a while, I started experimenting with balance and I tried to make stone sculptures that had such small balance points so that it almost would look impossible. I really loved that. Both because it felt like a challenge, but also because it forced me to get really still and quiet, and focus on one thing only; to find the tiny, tiny balance point. It more and more turned into some kind of meditation."
