George Carman will share narratives based on the rocks that mark the location of ‘dwell’ on the Lorne beach near the swing bridge. He will reflect on their residence – their dwelling -  and their stories of transit to the beachscape. The 200 boulders in the circular plinth are relative newcomers when compared to the stable wave cut platform rocks exposed at low tide. As a geologist he will dwell on their marks that record their stories of provenance and time, telling the episodic history of volcanism and fluvial torrents. If time and weather permits, he will create a graphic record of their meaning for others to follow, find and to appreciate their messages.

With training in geology, George is is skilled at sculpting rock data to paint pictures of ancient landforms going back millions of years (paleogeography or fossil landscapes) and more recently has further developed his interests in observational/experimental drawing.

Do not mock the little rock

When you are dead and gone

The rock remains to carry on

Steady true and still

Standing in the sunshine by a hill
