Fabulous ideas for working with stone
| Customer Rating: | | With spare text and pages of striking photographs, Stone by Design showcases the exuberant craft of the master mason, Minnesotan Lew French. While frequently working outside, on garden structures, walls, ponds, and pathways, he is equally at home working within the confines of a house. His mosaic fireplaces display a design sensibility that manages to capitalize on both the strength and an inherently playful aspect of stone. The conclusion of the book, a lengthy interview entitled The Making of an Artist, reveals a thoughtful and sensitive craftsman, who cites three primary influences in helping "formulate my ideas about stone." Despite their different approaches, architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Antoni Gaudi, and the artist Richard Iammarino, with whom French has collaborated, each serve as inspiration for French's own challenging and innovative twist on stone work. |
