Lyman has been a practicing sculptor for over 40 years, with a unique
knowledge of materials and their application. For over 20 years he has
been
primarily focused on creating wind sculptures, which are all
produced by hand. The wind sculptures are innovative and artistic with
a high degree of mechanical integrity; they are well respected for their
quality craftsmanship.
Lyman's sculptures have an
organic and mystical theme in keeping with his life philosophy. As an
artist, he can express his concern for the survival of the planet
through a creative medium. Disquieted about the durability of our
culture's present systems, in relation to climate changes, Lyman's
strongest wish is to have his artwork symbolize a move toward better
solutions in relationship to the earth.
By placing the sculptures in
settings dependent on natural elements for movement, opportunities are
provided for participants to think about their surroundings. Lyman's
sculptures are organic and natural like vegetation and are enjoyed best
in interactive settings where they are viewed over time.
The receptivity to his work
has allowed Lyman to create an inspiring modern studio in Southern Utah
with representation at fine art galleries around the country. In
addition, public and private installations exist throughout the United
States, Canada, Europe and Australia.
