Hi, my name is Randall Stoner, aka Madcarver.that depict scenes from years of reading fiction. The mediums I use are hard woods of numerous types. Creation of my art is produced by the use of chisels, and the sculptures vary in size anywhere from one foot to three or more feet. In addition to my specialty of high bas-relief I have also created full busts and stand alone sculptures. I look for the deepest depth and the highest height in addition to the most intriguing angles from the character and surrounding objects.One of the mostfor my work is through the stories I love to read. Particularly moving passages permeate my thoughts and fuel my creative action. I find myself reliving the feelings of inhabiting this other reality so thoroughly that the "unreal" elements of the story, such as dwarfs & ogres, seem spectacularly real long after the book was finished. It is this immersion into their prosaic lives, monumental struggles, and epic successes that make it possible for me to create art that is worthy of the sentiment brought forth by the literature., I'd like toI've gathered over the last twenty years to those who want it via video. As I create piece after piece, start to finish, with varying degrees of difficulty, complexity, and challenges, patrons will be able to learn my methods, ask questions & make suggestions, comment on particular ways to achieve, get help with their own work, and explore my world of woodcarving sculpture. Among the things that patrons will be able to learn are the carving, tool use & sharpening, frame creation, and all the things in between where my choices, methods, and thought processes are concerned., I'd like to "pull" woodcarving out of the "folk-art" stigma that has followed it since, possibly, its inception;. I feel that the "wood" medium when presented as "Art" can receive an undesirable connotation that should not devalue the art, but in fact enhance it, as the difficulty in creation is far-reaching., becoming a Patron of Madcarver directly effects my ability to produce more work of varying subject matter, by making it possible for Madcarver to obtain the following:Thank you,Randall Stoneraka Madcarver
