He found his true voice in sculpture, working primarily in local woods he gathered from the forest surrounding his home and studio in rural Pennsylvania. The spiritual father of the contemporary studio furniture movement in America, he pioneered the way for successive generations of woodworking artists to develop their original designs. His work blurs the traditional distinctions between sculpture and furniture, form and function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cem\u003eWharton Esherick: The Journey of a Creative Mind \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eis the first and only comprehensive look at the colorful life and work of this seminal artist.
