GLACIAL ERRATICA: COMBINING ART AND GEOLOGY AT A NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
"Glacial Erratica, a set of two parallel exhibits by Ohio sculptor Charles Herndon, integrated geological concepts with works of art. It was shown from September 2005 to March 2006. One exhibit was at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the other was at the Galleria, a shopping mall in downtown Cleveland. Stone sculptures were the centerpieces of the exhibits, although paintings and photographs were also included. Most of the sculptures were glacial erratics found along the shore of Kelleys Island, Ohio. The erratics were dominantly gneissic and plutonic rocks of uncertain provenance, but also included Gowganda Tillite and Loraine Formation rock. Other, non-erratic rock used included Columbus Limestone (Kelleys Island bedrock), gypsum, and Ohio shale concretions"
