Flettuverk~Lichen Work

(clean land, beautiful land- (an Icelandic slogan)) 

The lichen is the first thing that starts to grow on lava.
Lichens are very sensitive to
pollution.

 

Stainless steel plate and beach stones with lichen growing on them.

3' 2" x 3' 7" x 3 1/2"

Click on pictures of stones to see better.

 


 From the side to see how the stones lie on the plate.

 

In case you are wondering how the stones are fastened:

I drilled a hole into the stones and also in the plate and put two screws and a plastic tube into the stones to stop them from sliding.
