Stephen Andrus

Dr. Andrus' sculptures are comprised primarily of plexiglas: "I first ran into plexiglas in making simple experimental equipment in the laboratory...as you drilled holes, you could watch the drill bit advancing into the depths...I came to realize that a smooth polished surface reflects light internally as well as externally." copper: "Copper has an ancient and honorable lineage. Frequently, I made assemblages of patinated copper, backed by wood or plexiglas and mounted in antique wooden boxes." stone: "....I found myself cutting shallow basins in the top surfaces of cobbles as receptacles for water..."   bamboo: "Ever since buying a simple bamboo fishing pole as a young boy, I have been making things out of bamboo. Structurally, it is a miracle of design...it is considered a grass and yet, ...it is used in heavy construction."
