| About the Tutor: |
Tim Harrisson's sculptures are an exploration in direct carving, the nature of the stone and its relationship within landscape. He has developed a language which exploits the worked surface of
paper and stone, investigating the fundamental qualities of mass and delicacy, where carving and drawing are interchangeable.
|
| Tim has sculpture exhibited in the landscape at Rabley. Drawings are avialable to view by appointment. Find out more about Tim Harrisson and his work from the Rabley Gallery pages. more info... |
