David Phillips: 57 Years of Sculpture
• RECEPTION: Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Over the course of more than five decades, David Phillips has shaped a personal yet universally resonant body of work---bronze, stone, and mixed media sculpture shown in galleries and museums as well as quietly monumental sculptures that live in gardens, remote woodlands, and public spaces across the country and Japan. Now based in Sandwich, Massachusetts he has forged an artistic language rooted in natural forms and ancient symbols. Beginning with immersive studies at Cranbrook Academy of Art from 1966-1969 he learned the skills that would inform his future explorations. David Phillips work reflects a life of sustained inquiry: into form, into methodology, and into the beauty that stone can hold.
