Sculptures by Lee Gass
"I've been carving since I was too young to carve and hope to carve til I die."
Lee made his living as a university professor, a research scientist, and an educator of some renown. All that time, since his Mother started him carving Ivory Soap as a child, he's carved. He's as nuts about it now as he ever was, and as curious about the sizes and shapes of all kinds of things.
It is his full time job to carve sculptures in stone and wood, and to produce bronze replicas of those originals at any scale, for indoor or outdoor settings.
Since 1982 when he was 40, he has carved under the banner of "Behave as if sculpting were my life's work", when that possibility suddenly occurred to him. The power of that commitment shows in the exquisitely curved surfaces of his work, in the balance and sense of motion so many of them evoke, and the depth to which it is possible to experience them.
