Austin’s Rude Mechs return to one of their most beguiling works. Not Every Mountain is a mellow meditation on change, permanence and our place in the natural world. It tells the story of the life cycle of mountains and the processes by which they are born and eventually laid to rest, an invocation of tectonic force and geologic time.
Using string, cardboard and magnets, the Rudes invites us to watch the collective effort of making and unmaking a series of interlocking mountain ranges. We watch minutes, or perhaps centuries, unfold, as mountains rise and fall, clouds dance, birds alight and depart, and a moon delicately hangs overhead. Not Every Mountain is a joyous and poignant meditation on the fleetingness of time and the many lives of minerals, underscored by a poetic recitation–or perhaps a spiritual incantation.
