STONE SCULPTOR

Bob’s website

 

    Stone is my choice of medium because it is perceived as a hard, cold, and unfeeling material, but when stone is presented as a soft or complicated shape it evokes amusement and amazement that opens the mind to new possibilities and and can prompt you to reexamine your views on the broader subject matter.    For me the medium is first and foremost in the process and so I exclusively use stone to create artforms that represent my ideas.

During this year’s ARTmostNY event

 

 

During the ARTmostNY tour this year, I’m going to start from a block of soapstone and create a Mobius strip.  A Mobius strip is an elegant shape with interesting mathematical properties and I’ll enjoy discussing it with the ARTmostNY   visitors.
