"Human faces are carved in surprising ways into Garrity's work,
suggesting the threads that connect myth, past and present, and
even forces of nature." - ©2000 Boston Irish Reporter
'Introduction to Stone Carving,' is a step by step illustrated guide to
the art of direct stone carving by award-winning artist, DJ Garrity.
Developed during his tenure as Sculptor-In-Residence of Mount
Rushmore National Memorial, the artist introduces the 'process
aesthetic,' a subtle approach that allows a likeness and essence of
personality to emerge from within the ancient patina and natural
contours of stone. The techniques and illustrations presented are
derived from a sculpture created by the artist at The Berry Botanic
Garden of Portland, Oregon, and have served as a template for
seminars and sculpture workshops at botanic gardens, museums
and art associations across America and Ireland.
