"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 step by step illustrated guide to the art of direct stone sculpture by award winning artist, DJ Garrity. Developed during his tenure as Sculptor-In-Residence of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the artist introduces 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. The techniques and illustrations presented are derived from a sculpture created by the artist at The Berry Botanic Garden of Portland, Oregon, and serve as a creative template for workshops and seminars at botanic gardens, museums and art associations across America and Ireland.
