Know Time, basalt Ben Mefford
"Know Time"

The top is textured and rubbed to mimic the veining of leaves, while the underside is polished to reveal rich greens and greys. Picking up and holding the sculpture is encouragedAbout Ben Mefford:  I consider myself an emerging artist. I have apprenticed or assisted three sculptors over seven years on video projects, site-specific mixed media installations, gallery stone sculptures, and large-scale granite sculptures for public commissions. I have a bachelor’s degree in studio art and a master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies (research writing). I created my first large sculpture in October of 2016. I became a father in 2015, and it has been chaos ever since, and yet I finally feel like an adult. I am pushing hard to make art the central focus of my life. I am also interested in arts administration and have a dream of inventing a new kind of art museum by the time I am forty. I believe in what we do as artists, that there is an inherent value to it. I spent too much of my youth sitting around, directionless, waiting for something exciting to happen on its own. I am tired of thinking things are impossible just because I don’t know how to accomplish them, and I am not afraid of failure anymore.
