Produced in collaboration with the artist, this monograph offers an in-depth look at his work, through Wiseman's extensive archives, documents, and illustrations. The book features sketches and photographs of his unique sculptural objects and environmental installations that reveal a true portrait of the artist at work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book also shows readers many of his immersive creations that are in private homes and are rarely photographed. Wiseman's goal is creating work that brings nature indoors, ranging from small objects and sculptures to expansive installations. His signature Radial Branch chandelier, made of bronze and sculptured porcelain, is cast from fallen tree limbs he acquired on hiking trails in Los Angeles. His distinct patterns and motifs reveal his deeply rooted love of the natural world--which is evident in designs ranging from faceted-blown-Bohemian-glass crystal tumblers and porcelain vases to rugs, dining room tables, stools, and benches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMayer Rus\u003c\/b\u003e is the West Coast editor of \u003ci\u003eArchitectural Digest\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eSusan Weber\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder and director of the Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts. \u003cb\u003eDavid Wiseman\u003c\/b\u003e is an American artist and designer.
