Artwork Description
Robyn Horn created this sculpture as part of her Slipping Stones series. The title implies that stones have been carefully positioned into a circle. Horn achieved this effect with a single block of wood carved in her Arkansas studio. The artist looks at how nature itself takes shape over time. “The forms I make in wood reflect the shapes in which stones are found. There is a solidity to stones, a sense of monumental strength and simplicity to them that intrigues me.”
