Sculpting Mystic Nature

Josh Brooke Coté’s sculpture explores the boundaries and relationships between man, woman and nature, centered around our relationship to the environment. Fusing elements of surrealism and realism, his ideas arise from dreams, observation and nature. He often works with themes of transformation, nurturing and regeneration, often evoking mystical images. His work has been called “Beautiful” by Pulitzer-Prize winning author E. Annie Proulx (The Shipping News) and “Redolent of the earth” by the novelist Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall. He works in wood, concrete, stone and wire. Each piece of wood and stone is unique, unpredictable and carries with it a sense of mystery and has a unique inner voice. “I carve local stone and try not to cut down living trees for a sculpture; most of my wood is salvaged from trees blown down in windstorms and discarded or recycled lumber. I also use recycled copper and aluminum electric wire for my wire sculptures. My work attempts to glorify the natural world in which I live and depend upon creatively and physically. My creative energy is about growth, and transformation, stepping into the unknown, and perceiving this energy with intuition and the challenge, the art, is attempting to translate this mystery through the process of my sculpture. “
Josh Brooke Coté’s work has been shown nationally and regionally, winning various awards over the years and remains in private and corporate collections.
