‘slabs that have toppled from the top of the rock stacks… rest horizontally or vertically against their sides, creating slanting roofed chambers large enough to enter and walk through’. (TILLEY). the proximity of zennor and sperris quoits raises the possibility that these emblematic rock formations were the precursors to these early monuments and were deliberately mimicked by their builders. this possible propped stone sits across two large tor stones creating an effective chamber. it seems that the careful curating of a found or given tor formation was readerly transformed by the judicious addition of a ‘capstone’ propped up at one end by a smaller bolder … things found; things altered; things mimicked. isn’t this redolent of modernist art practice? #balancingstones, #proppedstones, #loganstone, #torstacks, #tors, #capstone, #chamberedtomb, #dolmen, #quoits, #ancientsites, #ancientwisdom, #ancientmodern, #ancientmodernism, #zennorhill, #westpenwith, #foundobjects, #foundrealty, #alternativereality, #transformedreality, #mimesis,
