What about a big dry stone Hall of Rock ?


What is the proper definition of a sculpture ?


Or rather, if something isn’t made by a human being, can it (say a natural rock) still be described as a sculpture . And if so, what are the parameters to determine if a boulder say, is piece of art, or just an interesting piece of rock. Maybe it only becomes a sculpture, if it’s shaped a bit by a human, or if it just natural, it has to be displayed or arranged with some sort of human intent, to understand it as art.


Here is a lovely sculpted-looking boulder. Let's move it to a special dry stone gallery we've just built, to put it on display.
