Artist's Statement

My mission as a sculptor is to create a visual record of modern culture by capturing contemporary everyday objects in stone. By replicating the model on a life-scale along with marking and symbol details, I attempt to freeze the object in time as an artistic form of artifact. I achieve this high degree of realism through the use of such materials as parts of the real object, custom-made stains, paints, plastics and gold leaf.

Robin Antar's latest creation "Knot"






Robin Antar's latest "Wine Knots"

Robin Antar would like to introduce you to her new line of "Wine Knots." These are sculptures that hold wine, but they are also stand alone works of art. When you run out of wine, you never have an empty wine rack lying around.
This elegant, curvaceous sculpture is both functional and beautiful. It can serve as a table center piece for holiday gatherings or a conversation piece gracing your den. No matter how you choose to display the “Wine Knots,” the modern and simple design will make a bold statement.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

While I am waiting for the stones to come form the west, and the casts to come back form the caster. I am going to finish a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter cups I started last summer when I was at Marble/Marble in Marble Co. It is out of oragange alabaster, to get the color of the oragne bag.
