“My core purpose has always been to help others find theirs. I think I’m lucky to be able to focus that single-mindedness on sculpture.”
For purists, sculpture should be traceable to a specific human. How do sculptors claim ownership of a work that requires many hands, multiple skills, and resources beyond the reach of most artists?
Australian sculptor and project manager, Todd Stuart works with sculptors to consolidate their careers. Two stories show how they can promote—and hinder—their progress in one of art’s most difficult branches.
In the 2017 US television art documentary Blurred Lines, critic Jerry Saltz quips: ‘Art is for anyone. It just isn’t for everyone.’ It’s a profound comment on art. It’s also fatuous.
In his career as a sculptor, designer and project manager, Todd Stuart, sees much in modern art to admire…and despise. He reflects the 2017 US television art documentary Blurred Lines.
Connecting the lines and bonds that join people, place, and meaning defines context in sculpture. Coaxing the materials to life is the natural consequence of, not the precursor to, successful sculpture.
“Many people think they’ll never find the perfect sculpture. But tailoring a work is part of the Todd Stuart experience— from the ability to resize a desired piece to having it crafted in a chosen finish.
I welcome your contribution to our journey together.”
