Rocks and Sculpture

There was a great party for the unveiling of Derek's sculpture on Saturday. The Gilroys, pictured with Derek, commissioned Derek to build a sculpture that would hold a door which they purchased in Morocco. Derek's work which has always been very architectural in flavour works beautifully with the door.

Nick Eyles, Professor of Geology at the University of Toronto, was there to take us on a tour of the rocks which have been collected and displayed on the site of the Gilroy's home. We learned about the history of the rock specimens, how they were formed and how incredibly old they are.

This siltstone rock is from the Ottawa area and shows the beauty of the weather worn surface.
