We sponsored an Environmental Art​ Book

 

Wood & Stone, Substance & Spirit:
The Sculptural Collaboration of Rebecca Davis & Roger Asay

Roger Asay and Rebecca Davis are well known for their sculptural work using natural materials. The work is simple, direct, and focuses on the organic qualities of the wood or stone they present in their art. Wood & Stone, Substance & Spirit: The Sculptural Collaboration of Rebecca Davis & Roger Asay was published in part with support from the NHI and features an introduction by William L. Fox. The 248-page book gives a resplendent visual overview of the exhibitions, temporary outdoor installations, public art, and well-known wood spheres the artists created from 1983 to 2021.

Learn more about the work of Asay and Davis here. 

 
Copies of the book are exclusively available at NHI through February 2023. Stop by or call to make your purchase!
