Figured Stones: Exploring the Lithic Imaginary Prudence Paul
'Figured Stones' is a masterpiece of natural philosophy and a vital contribution to the emerging field of vibrant materialism. In vivid and lucent prose, Paul Prudence crosses the 'blood-brain barrier of dimensionality', condensing and expanding both space and time by drawing the extremities of scale into paradoxical alignment. It is both a manual of visionary geology and a treatise on lithic scrying; a manifesto on rock veneration and an exploration of deep-time consciousness.
In this expanded state, the lithosphere is self-aware, memorising its own telluric activity, from weather patterns to the fluid dynamics of rivers.With Prudence as a guide we encounter rocks as messengers, talismans and oracles. Stones Vast landscapes become visible in miniature surfaces, and, liberated from our reductive impressions of time, rock itself becomes pliant, mercurial and alive.
