A. Tubesing says:
"My art, for most of my life, was expressed through book writing and
book publishing. The companies we founded consistently won major awards for both
the content and the design of our products. Ten years ago my wife gifted me with
a trip to the Marble/marble stone carving symposium in Colorado. Since then I
have retired from book publishing and shifted media, spending much of my time
sculpting stone at my Placitas studio.
Most of
my work depicts positive emotions and loving relationships -
liberty, contemplation, joy, play, love, commitment, and birth. Someone
asked me why I don’t do rage or jealousy. Why? Because it’s no fun for me to
spend a month with those emotions. Perhaps due to my verbal background, I most
enjoy creating sculpture that tells stories and celebrates major life
transitions. These spiritual/relational pieces are usually accompanied by a
narrative poem.
I
create my sculptures as personal spiritual expressions and therefore normally do
not make them available to the public. While I have exhibited my work in several
venues over the years, The Placitas Artist Series will be the first format in
which I will choose to place any of my work for sale."
