a sculptor of light and stone, drew a. schnierow illuminates stone, creating a unique and ethereal art of light from within. "my influences include landscapes, geology, life forms, light technology and contemporary design. my relationship with design is a crucial element in the process. it keeps me aware of the play between my art and the environments that they will call home. since contemporary design is so consciously influenced by nature, my artwork is perfectly matched with today’s collective creative voice." through his careful process of sculpting, polishing and lighting, "a perfect balance of shape and design is unveiled." i should say so. and i should also say wow! imagine turning all of your ordinary lights off in the space you place one of these sculptures and the only light glowing is from this stone! i'd become lost in it like you can a fireplace at times. my eyes would constantly move around the object noticing every vein, every line, every texture and color that the light forces you to notice. mesmerizing.
this is what i love about the magazine dwell, they showcase so many talented artists and designers that are cutting edge but so many are using and manipulating organic, found objects and materials and playing with things, with design, with light! just fabulous.
