VL32 - Conversations with Contemporary Artists with Brad Story, Sculptor - 04-23-2011

As part of the Conversations with Contemporary Artists series offered by the Cape Ann Museum to highlight current local artists, Essex native and lifelong boat builder Brad Story presents a slide show and talk about his artistic process as a sculptor. Fascinated with the flow of air and water and inspired by the natural organic forms of birds, fish, and flowers, Story explains how his knowledge of boat construction and interest in airplanes help to inform the development of his organic shapes. As past exhibitions in such far flung locations as Seattle, Washington, and Seoul National University in South Korea demonstrate, Story’s large-scale, distinctive pieces speak to the universality of man’s wonder at the natural world.
