"NEXUS" by Don Lawler
This sculpture by Don Lawler is entitled "Nexus". It represents a community of individuals who are brought together by like-minded interest. The intertwining forms symbolize the energy that the individuals bring to the gathering.
It was completed in March, 2010. However, progress occurred in furious bursts, that were spread out, over a 2 year period. Work on this piece always seemed to occur in bitter, windy, sub-freezing weather. Finishing this sculpture has left a contrasting set of emotions with the artist - a mixture of elation and a memory of pain.
It is carved from Indiana Limestone with the signature style of spiralling chisel textures and polished surfaces.
It measures 73" high by 36" by 36" and weighs approximately 3,000 lbs. SOLD!!!!
"EMBRACE" by Don Lawler
This sculpture by Don Lawler is entitled "Embrace". It represents the contrast between Civilization and the untamed forces of Nature.
It was carved from Indiana Limestone in 2009. It measures 71" high by 39" by 39" and weighs approximately 3,000 lbs. The sculpture has a spiralling chisel texture on the intertwining forms that contrast with the polished geometric shapes. It has a base with a polished top and a rustic, natural finish on the sides (rock-pitched). !!!SOLD!!!
"RIPPLES" by Don Lawler
This piece is undergoing a transformation. I will post pictures of the revisions soon.
This functional sculpture (seating) by Don Lawler was carved from a 2,500 lb. piece of Indiana Limestone. It was completed in March 2011 and measures 56" wide by 27" deep by 24" high.
It was created from a stone that had the composition of a natural outcropping. The surface was then covered with circular glyphs.
This was a very enjoyable piece for the artist to create. The forms are varied in their creative eccentricity.
The title is derived from the concept of how different people who touch our lives, leave their effect - like ripples on a pond.
The sculpture offers a wide range of visual and tactile details to discover. It retails for $5,000.00

"POD of SUN SEEDS" by Don Lawler
This is a monumental stone sculpture entitled "Pod of Sun Seeds". This is where all of Tomorrows come from.
This sculpture measures 81" high by 39" wide by 33" deep and weighs approximately 3,000 lbs. It is carved from Indiana Limestone with inlays of Brazilian White Marble. !!!SOLD!!!
This side view shows the pinnacle shape of the natural form, which was split open lengthwise to reveal the inside shapes.
This sculpture has a variety of textures and marks. You can see the quarry drill marks along with the natural surfaces. These contrast nicely with the sawed and polished front surface, the spiralled texture of the intertwining forms and the stippled surface of the marble. This piece offers a tactile experience as well as creating a major focal point for any garden or civic site.
