Friz Hoffmann series of photographs depicting giant rocks deposited by retreating glaciers forms a national survey which is introspective of these boulders existence in city and suburbia. These erratic's found all over the USA have been imbued with the narrative of 'pet rocks' by Hoffmann. The position the artist presents the rocks in is a documentation of their passive interaction with the ever changing urban and natural landscapes as well as the 'modern social' human interaction and perhaps therefore their inevitable domestication into society.
