Robert's Studio

June 16, 2016 Claudia Landivar-Cody

Everybody who works in marble seems to have the soul of a rock hound... (Robert Gove’s) rough but spacious studio...(is) a shrine to the stone and a museum of found marble art, whose gritty surfaces set off the polished arcs and ripples of his own work. He finds it in the streambed:...half-worked pieces, cutout negative forms and stones of indecipherable provenance but of such wise balance, you’d think some neo-Constructivist mountain troll had taken a chisel to them.

The finest artist cannot conceive a thought that the marble itself does not bind within its shell, waiting to be brought out by the hand that serves the artist’s mind.
