Anthony Kaufmann has potent focus, and often works by meticulously composing stone– combining layers of onyx, or marble, and basalt to form monumentally interactive pieces that leave the viewer in awe of their vast intricacy. His sculptures weave complex threads, stories from far away -the cosmos, ancient Greek mythology and historical art. He combines these threads with tales intrinsically closer to home- family, cycles of life, and cataclysmic geology. Anthony’s history with carving stone originated with basalt. For Anthony, the beauty of columnar basalt in conjunction with central Washington’s incredible geological history offers him unrivaled inspiration, shaping the core of his being, reflecting in the strength of his work.
