Madeline has been creating large interactive sculptures in stone for almost two decades. Her aim is to create images and surfaces that people feel enticed to experience personally - both visually and in a tactile manner. That said, she enjoys sharing her technique with carvers who come to MARBLE/marble. She created this symposium in 1989, with the intent of teaching methods of carving that make it both enjoyable and efficient. While she started out with the difficult task of carrying her small stones up three stories to her New York studio, she now has the ease of moving monumental sculpture that she creates in her Denver studio, with cranes and forklifts. She is currently creating sculpture for Santa Fe, NM - celebrating that city's 400th anniversary; and for the main entrance to the Ralph L.
Carr Colorado Judicial Center. This latter grouping of monumental figures are being created out of Colorado Yule marble."

Chet Haring
Chet Haring feels most at home when he is making both lots of noise and a big mess. He enjoys working with materials that come from the earth, materials such as wood, stone and steel, often in combination. In recent years, Chet has drawn inspiration from the clean aesthetic of the machinery used to harvest such material. When not carving, welding or manipulating materials for artistic and/or utilitarian purposes, Chet can often be found climbing mountains and exploring canyons near his home in Durango, Colorado. |
