Gray's work is predominantly sculpture based on balancing natural elements. He creates sculptures using naturally weathered stone, usually on location by the coast.
To show live examples of his work Gray performs demonstrations where he creates new sculptures on site. Gray's sculptures for the garden and indoors are previously balanced compositions fixed permanently in position.
Since 2015 he has also been creating monumental sculptures weighing many tons, balancing them with large cranes. The owners of the sculptures receive a film of their creation.
In 2015 a book about Gray's work was published in the UK. "The Art of Stonebalancing" includes his biography plus photographs by Gray and other photographers.[3]
In 2015 Gray completed a 14-tonne stonebalancing sculpture, "Trust in Nature". More than five metres tall and made of two Bodmin granite boulders, it was first assembled on
Bodmin Moor, where it remained for a week. Gray then moved it to the
RHS garden at Rosemoor in Devon for their winter sculpture exhibition and also took the piece to London for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2016. The balancing process on Bodmin was filmed for BBC1's The One Show and broadcast on 25 November.[5]
Gray worked with photographer Mikael Buck to create a series of images for the
Isle of Man Tourism Division. The photos show Gray's stone balancing sculptures in natural locations on the island, and were released on 14 July 2015.[6]
