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.
