Between the essential and the fabricated,
Between pure Artistic Expression and imitation Artificial Intelligence,
Somewhere between these opposing influences there has to be opportunity to still be surprisingly creative.
Those of us who are looking to bring the art of walling back to earth again, continue to explore this middle road some call the Stone Zone.
Our desire is not just to fit stone's randomness into cute pleasing patterns, but help realize the improbable and the unpredictable.
In order to eliminate the unnatural elements of commercialism, and avoid the contrived manmade over-engineered look, we must steer our way around a digitalized reality that has represented a false concept of ‘virtual.’
We want to explore all stone's potential in this area, and not continue to replicate the predictably obvious.
If you enjoy the art of stone and hope to keep discovering the painterly/creative side of walling, if you like originality, not conformity, if you like your impressions to be real, that is, not contrived, diminished, filtered or visually manipulated, allow me to introduce you to the van Go Between
Somewhere between the pristine environment of priceless masterpieces (that few can afford), and the drab world of cheap reproductions that are neither natural, nor genuinely inspired , the ‘Go Between’ van turns out to be the ideal vehicle for still travelling creatively between the two worlds.
