Sheer Sandstone Cliff Material - Substance

I've been spending a lot of time making different types of red rock sandstone - based on a recent trip to Navajo Country in Monument Valley. To my surprise, while the geology in the region was full of large gestures that dominated the landscape, if you take a closer look, each butte, each plateau and tower, had its own unique conglomerate of different erosions and forms.

Sheer, smooth sandstone faces made up the dominant forms of some of the larger buttes in the Valley, and this project here is my attempt at replicating the subtle, simple forms that detail the surface of those monumental gestures.
