ARTLINKS ARLINGTON APRIL EVENT FEATURES SCULPTURE ARTISTS
Sculpture artists William Turville and Kevin Duffy share their work and process at ArtLinks’ April event on Wednesday, April 2 noon – 1:30pm at the Arlington Center for the Arts Gallery (20 Academy Street, 3rd floor).
William Turville
A sculptor and an architect, William Turville creates and exhibits personal and commissioned studio art; builds public and community art installations; and teaches 3D art to children; and has an active regional architectural practice. For over 50 years, since graduating from Pratt Institute in architecture and sculpture, carving stone and wood for a Manhattan Catholic Church commission, and founding a recycling center for the first New York City Earth Day, his career has included both art and architecture. He works in bronze, stone, aluminum, wood, sheet metal, steel, ceramics, and found/recycled objects and materials, and builds studio furniture and art vehicles.
Kevin Duffy
Working in stone both presents many challenges and offers many rewards. Removing material in both large and small amounts until what already exists within the stone becomes visible, is a process that never ceases to fascinate me. The final result, whether it be well developed in advance, or simply allowed to occur during the removal process, breathes new life into an object already in existence, many millions of years. The durability of the material allows my work to be displayed both in and interior setting as well as an outdoor setting.
12:00 – 1:00 pm our Presenters will speak with a Q&A following:
1:00 – 1:30 pm Networking: Share your latest news and announcements.
