ON
THE ROCKS
Includes
two issues in a special sculpture-embellished presentation box:
Volume 4, Number 4 --
January - March 2014
Volume 4, Number 5 -- April - June 2014.
ON
THE ROCKS tells
the complete story of rock-art through two 40-page, illustrated,
sculpture-embellished monographs. Both hand bound books are housed
in a bevel-edged presentation box with a hand-sculpted petroglyph
by artist, John Sparagna, inset into the lid. Like a stratified
archaeological dig, ON
THE ROCKS offers
a multi-layered art and literary experience to enhance your book
collection.
The two-issue edition is
limited to 100 signed and numbered boxed sets.
Part 1 -- Turn To Stone
(Vol.
4, No. 4)
offers a bed rock foundation
for the study of Geoglyphs, Pictographs, and Petroglyphs. Learn
how these Paleolithic art forms were made, dated, categorized,
and evaluated. Uncover why rock-art is still pursued by Native
American, African, and Australian societies.
Added benefit:
tipped into every issue of
Part 1 is a separate 24-page illustrated, saddle stitched codex.
From the author's research travels, each booklet picks out the
characteristic styles of petroglyphs from the American Southwest
(their cultural context, plus where, and when each developed).
Extra Inspiration:
Complete instructions, over
30 authentic designs, and a triad of 3-D models help you make
your own petroglyph embellishments and jewelry.
Part 2 -- Stone Walled
(Vol.
4, No. 5)
digs into the mystery, local
color, and controversies that accompanied the discovery and evaluation
of prehistoric rock-art. Pertinent notes on preserving and protecting
these priceless examples of cultural heritage accompany tips on
understanding the meaning behind modern rock-art designs.
One more plus:
A 14-page, saddle stitched
mini codex is tipped into each issue of Part 2. Discover locations
throughout the US where documented examples of rock art may be
viewed.
