Steve Dilworth

Steve Dilworth was born in Yorkshire in 1949 and now lives and works on Harris, Scotland. Harris provides much of the inspiration and source material that goes into sculpture that is often simplistically labelled as shamanic.

STEVE DILWORTH

Much of his sculpture incorporates a ‘resurrectionist act' [1] when found material are recreated, with great skill, into objects that have an existence not in modern time but in deep-time.

Notable public sculpture includes Venus Stone and Claw at Goodwood Sculpture Park,[2][3] Case at the University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland; Hanging Figure in the Richard Harris Art Collection, Chicago.
