STONE IV, an exhibit of Sonoma County Stone Sculptors appears at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts in Sebastopol, California every 7 years. This is the fourth in a series that began in 1979. The continued goal of the series is to show the range and talent of stone sculptors residing in Sonoma County, including professional stone sculptors who are new to the area, as well as those who have participated in previous exhibitions.
The curators, Warren Arnold and Clark Mitchel, stressed that they wanted 3 pieces per artist that they feel really defined their body of work. I exhibited this mobius, a superellipsoid piece of Utah Calcite and a curvilinear piece of Bardiglio Marble. The show was a great success. The mobius piece was scheduled to be part of the installation I just set up today called "Chiselers" at the Plaza Arts Center in Healdsburg, CA but the piece just sold. The "Chiselers" exhibit does include 13 of my pieces including the new Mexican Fluorite piece titled "Koan". Join me for the reception on Friday, February 27 at 130 Plaza Street in Healdsburg between 5-7pm. www.plazaartscenter.org You can see more of my work at tbarny.com.
