Ron
Divino hangs out at Aquatic Park near the Maritime Museum and Municipal
Pier at the end of Van Ness Avenue. Since the mid-1990s Ron has created
simple yet startlingly beautiful works of art by simply - or not so simply
- stacking stones that seem to defy gravity along this craggy but manicured
shore. Why the balancing act? Ron in his own words: "It's a metaphor for
the wonderful world we live in. No matter what's going on, Mother Nature
provides us with this beautiful world. Look at these surroundings, with
the incredible Golden Gate, Alcatraz Island, the Hyde pier museum, the
bay, and so many different kinds of trees and beautiful birds coming together
right here. It makes all the bitterness and problems in the world seem
so small." There are others who create rock art along the bay, but Ron
is the only one who does so from a spiritual calling without openly
soliciting donations or marketing photos.
