Tim Urban: Stone Artist

The peaceful world of ages past is captured in this Cypress swamp scene brought to life by the subtle interactions between light and stone, wood and glass. A forest of piece-by-piece constructed Pecky Cypress trees overlays a beautiful, shimmering stained-glass waterway in which a bright, back-lit sky made of translucent, golden quartzite allows the scene to showcase its ever-changing light effect. Featuring two young Native American girls paddling through a forest populated with pieced, layered stone egrets, herons, ibis, ducks, and even a bluebird perched on an oar, with but a small spotlight shined through the bold quartzite sky, this incredibly dynamic piece will surprise as it radiates its beauty throughout the darkest room.
