Stone from Crystal Park
"Kenrock 2021" is part of One Line World Project by artist Ken Hiratsuka. The idea of this project is carving the world as one huge sculpture through the hands of artist. Driven by his belief that art can transcend barriers of language and nationality, Hiratsuka creates site-specific works in different countries and environments, often living with the people and incorporating local cultural stories, events, and icons into the carvings. The sculptures become memorials of a people, a place, and a time. Hiratsuka’s work can be seen in permanent public sites in both urban and natural environments in 24 countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Italy, Indonesia, Kenya, Finland, Sweden, Mongolia, Turkey, Colombia, Guatemala, Spain, France, Slovenia, Swiss, United States, etc. “I hope that those who see my work will discover new aspects of life, deeper levels of experience of which they may be only dimly aware. I want to inspire people to become more conscious of nature and our common humanity. No matter how lifestyles change, the basic self remains the same. I want to help bring human beings together. In my art there are no social, economic, cultural or political distinctions. We are all one.” -- Artist Ken Hiratsuka.
