Discuss: Healing Sculpture

what beautiful thoughtfully conceived and constructed work. Im glad to know of Mr McCormick’s art, and I especially like the way his art turns back to the earth, his source of inspiration, leaving it better off than it was before.

If art is a way of living then all of what we do should be restorative, a return to balance. Resurrection, one might call it.
I think McCormick’s work is praiseworthy.

The spiritual quality of your work serves as a living, then vanishing, ideal.  And yet it never really disappears. Something better takes its place; a breathing, functioning, healthier space for all concerned.  If that isn’t the essence of art in its finest hour, I can’t conceive of what would be.  Thanks!

Beautiful! I love art that has a real relationship with its environment, like Buster Keaton’s work. McCormick’s work speaks of hope and reconnection in many senses, and is a perfect example of the positive movements our world needs so desperately. Thank you.

What a wonderful vision. Since hearing Adam Werbach’s thoughts on enviromentalism I’ve come to appreciate vision as much or more than action. Action is important, but the correct action is more important than just any action. Your work combines both. Well done! You are an inspiration.

In truth, life is art, every moment is an artful or seemingly artless moment.  We are a natural part of life’s/art’s landscape along with all other living things animate & inanimate.  How to get the thinking into the mainframe of our actions.  How to redefine the thinking behind the moments one after the other.  Children do it until they learn how not to think of it or do it.  I enjoyed everyone’s thoughtful comments.  Mr. McCormick’s art is much needed these days. How to remember our own nature.  We only need to tip the balance.  Nature needs us to help it now.

Renaissance artists had the de Medicis and other patrons. How fitting in this carbon footprinted era if enviromental good becomes the patron and nature itself the gallery walls for eco-creative visionaries like McCormick. May this school of art catch on everywhere public resources might go to encourage artists to help secure the environment so beautifully.

I love the concept that a work of art doesn’t have to last generations simply to inspire thought and discussion. Mr. McCormick’s art doesn’t need humongous museums, complete with staff to explain it nor the infrastructure to protect and preserve it. Instead, what he has made is art that will change as the environment changes, leaving in the end a restored piece of an ecosystem, indestinguishable as a work of art, but one nonetheless!
