"This exhibit<em style='border-color: var(--chakra-colors-gray-200); overflow-wrap: break-word;'>Playing with Gravity</em>has never been seen before and we are thrilled that Adam chose the beautiful natural surroundings of McKee to showcase his amazing talent," stated Executive Director Christine Hobart. Stacking stones is more popular; but done as an artform at the masterly level is very rare. Balancing and stacking stones is one of the rarest and most ancient art forms dating back to prehistoric origins and predates 2D cave paintings, which is considered one of the earliest art forms. This exhibition will feature both highlighted balances and surprise balances, including floating in the waterways at McKee. His balances are intended to inspire one to believe in the unbelievable. "I've noticed that when someone sees something they did not think was possible it unlocks for them a new way of thinking. A thinking of possibility," stated Adam. This is a true balance; no glues or other attachments of any kind are used.<u style='border-color: var(--chakra-colors-gray-200); overflow-wrap: break-word;'></u><u style='border-color: var(--chakra-colors-gray-200); overflow-wrap: break-word;'></u></p>
