Description
"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." (c)2000 Boston Irish Reporter
Introduction to Stone Carving is a singular addition to the archives of direct stone sculpture by DJ Garrity. The award-winning artist presents an innovative and focused approach that allows participants to create a work in stone, which carries their unique creative imprint. A result enjoyed by hundreds of novice and experienced stone carvers at workshops conducted across America and Europe. Developed during his tenure as Sculptor-In-Residence of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the artist uses basic hand tools to demonstrate and introduce 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.
