Walter S. Arnold is constantly exploring new ways to apply the ages old tradition of stone carving as he strives to create works that are at the same time timeless, and fresh and contemporary, works of art that will speak to us and speak to future generations.
Working within the tight dimensional, structural and stylistic limits of an architectural context requires a balanced touch. The carving needs to complement and enhance the site, adding interest, beauty and delight without overwhelming or disrupting the visual environment.
Works to enliven the landscape and expresses the community spirit. Art should inspire, add depth and richness to our experience, enlighten, educate, and stimulate young and old alike.
Stone becomes a soft, fluid material under the chisel, bringing joy, surprise, imagination and dreams to life in these unique and evocative works.
