Dr. Rosen, working alone or with one helper, has transformed the landscape with compositions of stone, boulders, earth and trees, sometimes referred to as outdoor installations or earth art.<\/p>\n<p>Some may refer to Dr. Rosen as an artisan builder, engineer, landscape artist or installation artist, when viewing his almost 50 year dedication to stone work and earth art. In that time he has moved, positioned and sculpted over 900 tons of stone by hand, without power equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Working from the lakefront up, his passion for stone led him to transform the area with compositions of boulders harvested from the lake and where required, from stones indigenous to the area.<\/p>\n<p>The strategic blending of size, shape, colour and texture of stones in all the fieldstone walls surrounding his country house epitomizes the axiom \u201csomething from nothing\u201d. Boulders harvested while excavating the basement were incorporated into a Stonehenge type garden. Excavated earth was employed to fill strategically placed terraces that served to prevent erosion and doubled as an outdoor amphitheatre.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_gallery type=&#8221;flexslider_fade&#8221; interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;513,514,515,516,517,518,519&#8243; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; custom_links_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/drharryrosen.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/ea.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Step-by-Step Description<\/strong><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] 1961 \u2013 2009 The traditionally accepted axiom that \u201cart enhances life\u201d is epitomized with earth art.
