Michaela Crie Stone lives and works in Rockport, Maine, where she creates pieces that push the parameters of function by blurring the lines between art, craft, and design.
Lyle London is an artist and sculptor. Over the last few years, he has developed a series of works based on the spiral topologies observed in natural phenomena as diverse as plant growth, DNA/RNA helixes, marine life, and the evolution of spiral galaxies.
This investigation of the complex geometries found in nature has inspired him to create interior suspended sculptures crafted from color-changing dichroic glass as well as outdoor sculptures showcasing the dynamic spiral topography.
This steel sculpture is a deconstruction of a spiraling dust devil or maybe a whirling dervish. Using 100 computer cut 1/4″ steel plates the piece creates the complex geometry of a whirlwind.
DANCER VI (above) is another sculpture by him, made of bronze and SPIRE (below) made of stainless steel designed based on growth patterns in nature including plants and weather systems.
