Artists > David Erdman
David Erdman's sculptures of luxurious wood, informed by studies in architecture and boat building, evoke the elegantly flowing lines of a sailing vessel on the water. Significance is placed on the object itself as well as the tension in the air surrounding it, as one would view a sail in the breeze.
Erdman studied Sculpture at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, and Architecture at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The artist maintains an active studio on the Gulf Coast of Florida, where the wind and the water inspire and energize him.
