One could argue that sculpture predates humans—from the beginning, rushing waters cleaved, shifting rocks moulded, and driving winds polished our planet, creating landscapes that could be called masterpieces. Sculptors also cut, chisel, bend, shape, mould and form raw materials into wondrous shapes. Their goal is not necessarily to reproduce nature, but rather to re-present it in its various forms. Conveniently, nature provides a wealth of working materials: wood, clay, stone, fibre and metal are all transformed by the touch and vision of the artist. The National Capital Network of Sculptors is proud to present some of the ways in which its members use nature, both as a source of inspiration and a treasury of materials.
