Lanning Gallery: Art in All Forms [Sedona Arizona]

The Sculpture of Kathi Caricof - A featured artist at the Lanning Art Gallery in Sedona, Arizona.

 

For an artist to stand before a block of stone, a gift from nature, and begin to chip away at it takes real courage. For an artist to feel that the image they are about to awaken is worthy of that intrusion requires total trust that the parts eliminated will reveal a richer vision. For sculptor Kathi Caricof the concepts she wishes to liberate from the stone are, “those ideas that I am liberating from myself: independence, vulnerability, compassion, clarity, longing, sensuality and isolation.”

 

What may next be liberated will be, “a result of the ongoing dialogue between carver and stone,” Caricof states. “Over the years I have found that my art not only reflects my present life content and current moods, but it also, often unconsciously, but also with great accuracy, predicts the as yet unknown emotions and challenges that are about to emerge in my future.”

Kathi Caricof is well known and much acclaimed for her marble sculpture and reliefs. She has a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA and has received many awards including the "People's Choice" at the International Snow Carving Championships in Breckenridge. Caricof has installed major pieces of public art on the campus of the University of Denver, for the City of Broomfield, CO, and the cities of Cerritos and Burbank, California. Her main interest is stone but she also works in steel and other metals. Her work consists of three dimensional freestanding sculptures as well as large-scale bas-reliefs.
