Pierre Jardin coined the term PETRIVERSE: Noun. 1) A world composed of rocks; e.g., a rock garden. 2) Words composed of rocks; i.e., verse written in stone.
This installation is a sign telling passersby the names of garden and gardener; “blog” invites interested parties to find their way to this very page. The concentric circle patterns on the sitting stones evoke planetary orbits in solar systems; for Pierre, they appear as petroglyphs produced by the wash of waves.
Since “Petriverse” means rock-world and rock-writing, it is fitting that in the Petriverse the line between natural- and human-drawn lines is fine. And that is just fine by Pierre, who is trying to give voice to rocks and turn words to stone.
