Taj Forer Stone by Stone
Stone by Stone examines the practices of hunter-gatherer peoples. Through the imaginative acts of drawing on cave walls and sculpting wood and limestone, the world's first artists imbued their works with the meaning of generational survival and suggested that through the physical manifestation of the art object, the conceptualized reality depicted therein might come to pass. More than a record of events, then, these works looked ahead to shape a future marked by uncertainty. Similarly, through these photographs Taj Forer seeks to depict the successful practice of bushcraft survival skills not to record the past but rather to reimagine the future. Taj Forer is a Founding Editor of Daylight Magazine, the international publisher of contemporary photography, and is currently a lecturer in the Department of Art of UNC-Chapel Hill. Stone by Stone is his second book after Threefold Sun (2008). His work can be found in many public and private collections including the J.Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Sir Elton John Collection (London), the North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh).
