This beautiful example of indian rock art can be found in Nine Mile Canyon, just east of Wellington, Utah. You can find it if you have a friend show you where it is, or if you follow directions very well. You can drive to within 50 feet and walk right to it. If you don't know where to look, you can easily walk right past it!
Petroglyphs are carving in rock made by ancient peoples who vanished, leaving behind
these figures and symbols as silent mysteries. Native Americans consider petroglyphs sacred
testimony of their ancestors. Ken's unique process transfers the images to metal with no harm to the native rock carvings. These images can now pass from hand to hand and from generation to generation.
Ken works in stainless steel into which he cuts the images from the rock. Each piece is
then processed to give it a beautiful, soft copper-colored patina.
