Stone Free
Brantner DeAtley
Let’s move back into our world. Let’s look deeply as we walk through the trails and bring what we encounter home with us. Let’s slow down and absorb this that we so often take for granted.
These sculptures are puzzles put together from memories of long walks and the raunchy materials that pass through our “progress”. Layered and manipulated by compressed time the scavenged detritus re-emerges in the shape of those who pass through my small part of the world. Maybe we can fly off with them? Ride the breeze, get away….
