the achievement of humanity as much as any other method, such as science or math. The shining steel Moebius strip hanging from its iron sawhorse is the unknowable offspring of the Industrial Revolution. Hanging from iron girders, it is a cold bend, having been bent into its other-dimensional curves by Mark with a crane over a period of a year, one of the great advances in modern sculpture and a milestone in Mark’s career.
The road winds east along the ridge and crosses the canyon down below at a small pond, out of sight of the sculpture, where strange Aku-Aku rock shapes can be observed.
A walking trail winds to the north around the large knoll to the Domo, a path which gives you a small taste of the vast wilderness surrounding the sculptures. Canyons and hills continue north on the ranch to the Stillwater Road, on the other side of which is a million-acre portion of the Gallatin National Forest, which continues over the Absaroka Mountains to Paradise Valley.
Murphy Canyon
You can take the tour van out of Arney Canyon and around the rolling hills to Ensamble Studio’s Domo, a Stone Age dolmen where we hold outdoor concerts. Just to the north of the Domo is the head of Murphy Canyon. This is a magical place, strewn with glacial erratics, boulders left over from the ice sheet which once covered the area. Continuing across the bottom of the creek and up an unnamed valley, there is a long rock dike which seems to have faces embedded in its angles. If you look long enough, you can see Beethoven’s Quartet on a ridge top to the west. A half a mile later, there is a bowl and then a second bowl, a perfect site for outdoor concerts. Cows graze on one side. You can see eight mountain ranges. Other than the cooling breeze which waves through the grass, everything is completely still.
