Abbotsford Art Gallery | Gallery | Shannon Ravenhall
Shannon began carving in 1986. Although painting had been Shannon's passion for many years the moment she touched stone she felt an instant affinity and she knew this was her natural medium. Shannon selects stone to which she feels an immediate connection. Preferring not to impose an idea into the piece, but rather open up and let the stone speak to her, thus the sculpture becomes a form of synchronicity.
Artist's Statement: "The relationship of form and space, plus beauty and strength of simplicity continues to be an important underlying theme. Despite the intrinsic obstacles and challenges of each piece the whole experience for me is like a timeless, wonderful dance ."
