ABOUT
A riprap, as the poet Gary Snyder tells us, is a mountain trail paved with hand-laid stones. By following the rip and the rap of the path, you disappear into nature.
The laying down of rocks seems a strange yet apt metaphor for encountering art. Like a mountain, the inner self is often too vast to navigate unless we build a trail of discovery, placing stones of revelation one after another. This is the riprap of things, the footings that lead us into the interior of our world.
Riprap Art Club is a gathering place on this trail. It is run by Leo Yuan, a nature lover, a curator of views, a lookout for creative fires.
Saddle up and join the club, if you also feel like going on a hike in the mountains.
