Stone carvings
Cave paintings
The earliest forms of language were left behind by our predecessors. Dating back to prehistoric times, the oldest known works of representational art are stone carvings, whilst the ancient art of carving letters into stone to create a permanent record is as old as writing itself. While not as old, they are also found inside the caves of Maastricht. Communicating through stone is a human practice, but could the stone also communicate itself to us?
In this workshop, we will look for the hidden letters inside the stone, using a printing technique to extract the unseen shapes and together create a new letter set. You don’t have to be a ROCK(et) scientist to make some nice new letters and join this workshop.
Let’s rock it.
