Texture and Materials

I was recently in Columbus, Ohio for the installation of some artwork in a hand and micro-surgery center. The developers and physician owners had requested that some of the pieces in the scheme be from artists in the region. I certainly succeeded with Linda Leviton, a sculptor who lives and works just .7 miles from the facility. Linda invited me over and showed me around her studio and home.

First she showed me the multi-dimensional painted wood piece she created for the main reception wall:


As I looked around the studio I saw a very diverse body of sculptural work. In addition to wood, Linda also creates pieces in copper:


The wackiest piece I found was created using dichroic acrylic:


More studio shots to come!
