Sculptures


Barry Zawacki

Barry's work embodies the simplicity of color and form in and through nature, reflecting both the artist's reverence for our environment and his ability to abstract the essence of gesture in natural forms using clay, recycled materials and items found in nature.  These pieces were inspired by the  natural textures and forms created by nature in the Highlands.

Michael Wolf

 I grew up in northern New Jersey on the New York State border near the base of the Ramapo Mountains with a stream a few houses down from where I lived. As children, my cousins, who lived on the same street, spent hours playing in the woods and the stream, building things with the available fallen branches and rocks and giving me an appreciation of using our natural resources responsibly. In high school, I became interested in working with wood and eventually went on to study woodworking in art school. Wood is still my primary medium, and I find the raw material for many of my sculptures from wood that I find while hiking or driving. In this area of the country, many houses are made of wood. I use the archetypal house form as a metaphor for human experiences to invoke memories that reveal themselves as profoundly personal and universally resonant.

Elie porter trubert

 Elie Porter Trubert is a New Jersey artist who works across a variety of media including photography, sculpture, audio, and writing. Her “walking within” practice involves the creation of ephemeral, site specific sculptural works assembled from gathered natural materals, and alludes to impermanence, interconnectedness and attunement.
NOTE:  These three (below) have been set on wall brackets in the past, but are too deep according to your requirements; however, they can be on pedestals.  They weight about 15 lbs.each.   There is audio (via headphones) to accompany these, in case you are inspired in that direction.
