Artist's Description

An appreciation for rocks has a long history. Historians, for example, say that at least two millenia back, the Chinese collected special rocks for aesthetic purposes.

Gongshi is the Chinese term for special stones that meet the above criteria and evoke something from the viewer. The transliterated word gong means "spirit" and shi equals "stone".
