Joseph Wheelwright
          collaborating with Ron Rudnicki

Joseph Wheelwright is a master carver who works in stone, wood, and bronze. His creations are mysterious presences which exist in a range of scales from the tiny to the monumental, and often reference the natural world through the choice of materials and particular anatomical distortions. A notable example of his work is called "Listening Stone," created especially for the DeCordova Sculpture Park in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Wheelwright chose a giant boulder from a recent excavation on the grounds, and transformed it into a disembodied abstracted head at his studio. After completing the work, the sculpture was positioned so as relate in site, size, and materials to nearby rock outcroppings. In this way, "Listening Stone" seems to have emerged spontaneously from the ground, suggesting a mythic being or nature spirit in communion with the earth.
