The Earth Stone Cairn *2009*
2010


The Earth Stone Cairn is a fourteen thousand pound stone sculpture comprised of sixty-eight layers of granite and marble collected from around the world. Its spherical shape and over thirty natural colors are made up of stones from over fifteen different countries.

The stones were all hand laid by Lleshi himself with no contemporary masonry techniques used requiring exceptional craft and care. This ninety inch tall stone sculpture, is seventy-two inches in diameter at its widest point, giving it a majestically balanced appearance. The term cairn derives its roots in masonry; meaning a pile of stone used as a symbol for something. For Lleshi this Cairn represents the earth and all of its different components. The various stones needed to make it whole, are a metaphor for the differences we see in various areas of the world.

Remi Lleshi was born and raised in Northern Albannia. His environment was one of a natural existence with everything handmade and homestead. While attending school in Albania his favorite subjects were Geometry, Physics, and Biology. He majored in Forestry Engineering in college which inspired him to work close with nature. Remi moved to the United States in the early 1990 s and settled in Woodbury, CT.

His works are not standard masonry but more of an artistic vision that has purpose and a placement. Lleshi s vision is to enhance our environment. He states, We are surrounded by the natural world as a gift to us, and I take that gift, giving back a beautiful creation of art in a different form. From majestic stonewalls and statues, to beautiful waterfalls and fountains, Remi's artistry is represented throughout New England.
