Deloss Webber Description

At the heart of everything for Deloss Webber is stone. He collects rocks of varying sizes and types, choosing each one for its individual color, texture and markings. He then adds to the stone’s character by manipulating its surface and enhances it further by intricately weaving it in fibers such as cane, bamboo and reed.

Webber has a broad reach when it comes to combining art and traditional craft in his unique works having grown up in Morocco, Spain and Bermuda. He is intent on capturing a quality inherent in the natural world. The fiber fits so seamlessly onto the body of the stone that it seems to have always been there. Webber has an ongoing interest in Japanese basketry and a deep connection to the environment. He learned rattan weaving from his mother while growing up in northern Africa and Spain. He finds constant nourishment in cultures and places beyond his own boundaries.
