Jesse English has increasingly admired the concept of working with nature in an more immediate way.  Many of the artists who inspire him the most work in this way; David Nash, Richard Long, Chris Drury and Andy Goldsworthy.  In the summer of 05, he took time to experience this method for himself.
    Drury's ideas, such as pointing out our tendency to label areas as urban or rural, and differentiate greatly between them, led him to choose an area within the city of Dallas - only paces away from busy roads and businesses.  The only premeditated form he made was a cairn.  Besides this, the film is made of unprompted interaction with the environment during a single day.  This set of interactions led other concepts such as  Cadence.  See more stills from Skipping Stones on the menu of this page.
