DJ Garrity Live

                                "Within every creative idiom one finds a range of endeavors that inform,
                   encompass and at times define a genre. Literature is a prism into this
                   train of thought, as it sorts out the human experience with hard hitting
                   journalism, prose, playwriting and poetry. The form of sculpture that
                   I practice involves the aesthetic of the human vestige emerging from
                   within a block of raw stone. The emphasis is upon creating a portrait
                   or an intuitive work that projects emotional intelligence and upon first
                   glance, speaks directly to the heart."- DJ Garrity

                   DJ Garrity creates portraits and site specific public sculpture within the
                   mediums of marble, granite and basalt. Images on this page are from a
                   recent public portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi at the Berry Botanic Garden
                   of Portland, Oregon. The images highlight the progression of a work
                   from a rough block of stone to a completed work. The artist utilizes the
                   abstract qualities of natural stone to enhance the likeness and essence of
                   personality that he wishes to present.
