Matthew James Stone
Sculptor and fabricator. Stone Studios is where his own work and his fabrication for other artists happen side by side.
He holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York, studied at Konstfack in Stockholm, and earned a BA in sculpture at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. His work has been shown at Morgan Lehman Gallery, The Hole and Like the Spice in New York, and is in the collections of Tauba Auerbach, Marilyn Minter and Judy Pfaff.
“Do you know the difference between an artist and a designer?”
An artist solves internal problems and a designer solves external ones.
