Large outdoor marble sculpture
Soul Support

Sculpture by Ruth Burink
Monument, Colorado

"Soul Support is inspired by the concept of loving friendship and the need we have to work through the issues in our lives with the selfless support of our friends. The marble figure leans into the abstract wedge which supports her with unmovable strength and sustenance."

Stone sculpture is an interactive process during which a sculpture develops through exploration of the stone using line and form. Removal of extraneous material layer by layer allows me to explore the stone and reveal rather than dictate the image, thus allowing it to develop naturally and to its full potential.

Whether the sculptural theme is a concept, an individual, or a relationship, I am committed to capturing grace and beauty in the sculpture through sensitive design and meticulous finish work.

My work is approachable and serene in design, and of the highest quality craftsmanship. I use different types of stone based on the appeal of color and texture and appropriateness for the particular piece. I do cast in bronze for particular environments.

Ruth is an award winning sculptor whose work is collected internationally. She has gallery exhibitions and show participation nationally and internationally.
