About Ed Stone
Living and working on a comparatively small boat (40 feet) in a harbor of Vancouver provides me with a couple of important inspirations. The first one is to get off the boat as much as I can! And that keeps me out where the sights and colors of all the surrounding nature are always right in front of me.
What I (or anyone else who lives or visits here) see provides plenty of the second inspiration. It's easy to do art here.

About the sculptures
Every piece you see on this site is a signed original done by me. While I get lots of help on the side issues -- bookkeepping, shipping, supplies and such -- the torches and tools are in my hands. They are made from the best quality metals and effectors I can find. Decades of thought goes into every piece.
The sculptures you see probably do not look flat. They aren't. They are constructed in layers, usually three. While some parts may touch the wall, most will stand out as much as an inch or two (2 to 5 cm).
The treatments that give the metals their unique color combinations are permanent. In most cases, they are caused by actual physical/chemical changes in the metals.
Although permanent, the sculptures are real metal -- they will react to their enviroment, changing over time to get in balance with their surroundings. These changes are natural and for the most part up to the laws of physics.

RETURNS: There are about a million standards/laws for how to handle this. We keep it simple: if you send it back to us in the same condition we sent it to you, you get your money back. So far, we haven't had to figure out the details because we have never had one come back. I assume, as long as we treat you right, we will be able to keep that string going. We have had some exchanges. If that matches your needs, call and we will work out a switch.
