For Deloss Webber it begins with a connection to stone. His sculptural works are immediate reminders of the beauty that is inherent in the world. Varying in all sizes and types, Webber collects rocks onto which he intricately wraps patterns of fiber. He chooses each stone for its individuality in color, texture and mark. He then adds to its character through manipulating the rock, and enhances it further through his weavings of various cane, bamboo or reed. The fiber fits so seamlessly onto the body of the stone, it seems to have always been there. Webber first learned rattan weaving from his mother while growing up in Northern Africa and Spain. His ongoing interest in Japanese basketry and a deep connection to his environment have taken Webber’s work to many new and exciting places. Each treated stone wraps the viewer in like a piece of his fiber, closely connecting them to Webber’s clear veneration for nature. In addition to his works in fiber and stone, Webber has more recently explored other aspects of sculpture by working with wood and glass. CLICK ON   TO VIEW IMAGES
