Five years ago sculptor Janos Stone discovered gypsum board by walking past some scraps near a building site, and he’s been pushing the limits of the material in his sculptures ever since. What is a common product used by contractors daily, is very unique to artists.
“I brought it to my studio and started to play with it. I realized you could cut and snap it, stack it, carve it and really quickly I knew it would be a great sculpture material and solve all the criteria I was after both conceptually and physically,” Stone says.
