I’ve had fun over the past few months cutting up geological reports and maps and re-assembling them into geological features. This is a horst and graben. 🤓 . A graben is a collapsed or down-dropped block of rock that is bordered on its long sides by faults. Grabens are normally associated with horsts, which are the up-thrown blocks of rock in between. (Both words are of German origin: graben meaning ditch or grave and horst meaning aerie, referring to the high nesting sites of predatory birds.) . . . . . . #geology #geologic #geologyrocks #massmovement #xchangesgallery #contemporaryart #canadianart #canadianartist #visualart #fineart #earth #landscape #bcartist #yyjarts #drawing #crdarts #contemporarydrawing #estherjparkerartist #yyj #victoriabc #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #canada #maps #cartography #horstandgraben #foundpaper #collage https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2C3cbhie2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iozbcoe73mop
