John Stoney

I came across sculptor John Stoney when I was researching the art educators at the University of Texas. Among their sculpture professors, I was especially drawn to his work. Much of it seems to be about animals and the environment, but with a very unique twist that is very much his own.

This sculpture is made from plastic and aluminum; entitled "You Can't Go Home Again." I love the way he sculpted the waterfall, which is an element of nature that I'm particularly interested in. Talk about natural beauty. The detail of this work shown below changes everything about this beautiful piece though and further relates to my own work:

This fallen whale creates a narrative and thus makes this piece powerful and emotional.
