Ken Newman

I am drawn to question and interpret the relationships of man and nature and how each influences the other. My art is a statement of time and place on this journey of life. Not an arrived destination, but an effort to understand the world around me (us).

Check out my BLOG at www.kennewmanblogspot.com

My sculptures are based on the simple forms or characteristics of the raw wood; this generally provides the abstract design, which is the foundation of each sculpture. The reductive nature of sculpting from a single piece of wood has become second nature over the years and I continue to sculpt in wood for the pure enjoyment of the medium. Working in wood requires flexibility, humility and patience, which is rewarded with a uniqueness that can not easily be replicated. Woods’ warmth, innate beauty, tactile attraction and unique characteristics make the medium constantly challenging for me.

As we become distanced from the natural world, my sculptures capture a unique view of nature where discovery becomes a focal point. I create art to impact the viewer’s thoughts and perceptions of nature, not for the sculpture’s simplicity, beauty or marketability. Sculpting from a single piece of wood; my goal is to create a respect for nature and to convey and share my appreciation of and understanding of wildlife. It is a passion that only continues to mature as I sculpt in different mediums and subjects.
