STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. There are many different ways to incorporate art into everyday life, using everyday tools. One group from Lifestyles for the Disabled recently came across some impressive man-made rock sculptures at Mount Loretto.
The rock sculptures were created by Doug Schwartz, who started the artwork more than 20 years ago. The sculptures are made up of different rocks of varying sizes, and some even incorporate recyclable trash found on the beach. Some of them are tall and wide, while others are shorter and more narrow. “It’s so cool how you can make anything without any tools,” Aaron Bialer, a Life-Wire News photographer, remarked.
