7. Third Eye Theater
Third Eye Theater
Description
A photo of a girl running in the middle of the Third Eye Theater installation. Four flat rocks are centered in the middle, surrounded by rocks lined up in ascending order of size. "Observing" the design are two unique standing sculptures, which appear human-like with rock heads and column bodies. Grass surrounds all of the rocks, and there is a dwelling in the background. The Third Eye Theater created by Olympia Washington artists, Dorbe Holden, Gary Webb, and Mark Osbornes (collectively "Stone Studios") is an arrangement of naturally formed Columnar Basalt and Andecite stone. The stones define the area as a gathering place, an impromptu stage for children and adults. The playful arrangement is highly interactive connecting the user with the sculpture by inviting them to step from stone to stone, riding the undulating curves of the stepping stone/seats. The viewer is also invited to engage and interpret the stone people that surround and approach the stage. These stone figures are suggestive of age and personality roles but ultimately their simple presence depends on the viewer to use thier imagination and create the personality and character that reflects their own experience. Children love this sculpture and enjoy dressing the stone people with props to further define their character. The figures also represent guardians that watch out for the surrounding community. These grounding ancient stones define a sacred site that intrigues and stirs the imaginations of people of all ages.
