The Rhythms Of Stone Lecture
The Rhythms Of Stone Lecture is a PowerPoint presentation derived
from the artists' Nobel Laureate Series of portraits in stone. Garrity introduces the 'process aesthetic' mode of direct stone sculpture, a subtle and intuitive approach that utilizes simple hand tools to finesse the human visage from within the ancient patina and natural contours of stone. The artist discusses the historical background of the 'process aesthetic' from European Masters to the colossal sculpture of the American West and the continuing influence upon his work.
