STEWART STEINHAUER
In my 41st year of carving stone, and at age 63, I’m beginning to feel settled down inside about what I’m doing as a stone carver. My level of comfort and confidence in handling the material I love to work with best, granite, is high enough that insecurity about process is no longer debilitating. The forms and series that I see I am focused on, now that more than four decades have passed, are strongly rooted in my intuitive 3D imagination, joining together with the comfort and confidence in process. Workdays pass quickly, endlessly piling up, along with the cut off bits of granite going into my discard pile!
I’m walking a bit more slowly across the work yard in the morning now, and definitely feeling a lot more stiff and sore in the evening, but the time spent in between is an unconscious, blissful, timeless moment. Timeless moment: there’s a funny oxymoron. It is our innermost human prerogative to find ourselves in the world... as the world. More than tools for directing broad brushstrokes which attempt to capture and tame the grandeur of the Canadian wild, these hands seek to hold a feeling, the essence of a place in a timeless moment. Each panels composition is initiated on site, where light streaming through a stormy sky is the artist’s own perspective, where the unique view from the waterline provides a rich reservoir from which to decipher colour, form, line, scale and subtle aesthetics. Sitting on the ground, hearing nature’s rhythms, feeling the natural play of sun and wind, earth’s own passion is deeply shared in this translation of light shifting across the landscape as the planet tips through the circle of the seasons. It is in this authenticity, this deep connection, where nature is found to be identical with the peace of our own human nature.
