"...Mark
Lindquist's
contributions to [the American woodturning] movement in terms of technical
innovations and reconsideration of the vessel as a sculptural form rich in
cultural and stylistic associations are so profound and far-reaching that
they have reconstituted the field....His generosity in disseminating his
ideas and techniques among great numbers of woodturners through carefully
researched essays on his ground-breaking discoveries and his basic primer
Sculpting Wood: Contemporary Tools and Techniques has had the net result
of making many of his pioneering feats regularly accepted practices. Some
of his important technical innovations have received...a sweeping imprimatur
from the modern studio woodturning movement....In addition, his artistic
reconfiguration of woodturning in terms of Korean and Japanese ceramics,
oriental philosophy, and Judeo-Christian symbols demands investigation in
order to understand how he has transformed this genre into a metaphoric
discourse on the nature of being." |
