Few who treat the lathe as a carving tool do so with the skill of Stoney Lamar. His sculptures explore the natural movement, balance and tension of asymmetrical wood forms combined with steel accents. A multiple axis approach has allowed him to draw from a wider range of influences and to develop a more personal imagery and narrative.
Lamar received his BS degree from Appalachian State University (NC). He has exhibited at Berman Museum of Art (PA), the Minnesota Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian Craft Show (DC). His work is in the collections of the High Museum of Art (GA), the Museum of Arts and Design (NY), the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC), the Los Angeles County Museum of Craft and Folk Art (CA), the Mint Museum of Craft and Design (NC) and the Huntsville Museum of Art (AL). Stoney currently works from his studio in North Carolina.
“The work begins as a relationship I have established with a particular piece of wood and how its characteristics will interplay with my intentions and my emerging technical and conceptual vocabulary. As I adjust the work’s axis and continue turning, new challenges and possibilities are constantly presented.”
