Stone Head

Artist: Ted Ludwiczak
Country: USA
Work Date/Period Description: Contemporary

Description: Ted Ludwiczak began carving stone in the late 1980s after retiring from grinding contact lenses. The self taught artist came to carving stone heads while building a stone retaining wall near his house. Seeing a face in a rock he took a hammer and an old lawn mower blade and defined the form. Pleased with the results he felt, one head would look lonely, so he carved other stones heads in the wall. The sculptures combine natural rock surfaces with textures and forms defined by his vision and chisels.
