America Antiques and Design Presents “Sticks and Stones”
A Collection of Recent Sculpture by Edward Murphy

Lambertville, NJ – On Saturday, November 11, local sculptor Edward Murphy will present an exhibit of his recent
collection, titled "Sticks and Stones", at America Antiques and Design located at 5 South Main
Street in Lambertville.

A melding of art and architecture, Murphy's work combines the modern, deconstructivist style of Frank Gehry with the
organic approach of land artist Andy Goldsworthy. Each piece in the recent collection is made
entirely of natural and salvaged objects such as river stones, sticks, tree bark and metal, which take the form of free-
standing, hanging and wall-mounted sculpture. A woodworker and sculptor in Bucks County for
more than 20 years, Murphy forges a range of materials, textures and colors found in nature to create one-of-a-kind pieces
reflecting the i nward or outward, humorous or serious 'soul' of their components.

"Ed sees possibilities in rocks and wood scraps – objects that the average person might step over a hundred times and not
recognize," said David Teague, artist and owner of America Antiques and Design. "His
body of work reflects a creative journey that began with small geometric sketches and has evolved to include large-scale
sculpture and modern furniture."

Murphy is one of several local artists featured by Teague in his forthcoming DVD series titled "Artists at Work". The art-
film project involves video portraiture of area artists in the process of painting,
sculpting and performing. Excerpts of the film will be previewed during the exhibit on Saturday evening.

The opening reception will take place from 6:00-9:00 p.m. in the hip Lambertville design showroom, best known for
housing the world's largest collection of antique, industrial and modern clock faces. Wine
and appetizers will be provided by TASTEiseverything.com catering.
