Blundell Gary Blundell was born in London and emigrated to Canada in 1962. He re members lying in afield as a child watching some balloons disappear into the vast emptiness of the sky. He remembers looking at everything on the ground... “As a trained geologist, I often begin with rocks. They contain astounding patterning, chaotic and ordered, and extremely varied in colour. Already abstracted, they are full of dynamic energy. They tell great tales of the history of the Earth, of millions of years of deposition, movement, collision and erosion”. “Slow and vast in proportion, the history of the Earth’s rocks establishes archetypal framework for my work.”
