It's called "Vertigo Barn" and it's a stoneware sculpture by John Brickels.



If you don't know the work of sculptor John Brickels, you have a treat coming. Search him out to discover a lively imagination at work, an artist who finds special enjoyment in depicting disintegration.

CELEBRATING THE INEVITABLE.

John Brickels celebrates the inevitable, and for thirty-five years, he has been creating stoneware sculpture of falling barns, tottering row houses and collapsed rust-belt factories - demonstrating the hidden beauty of entropy.

Brickels highly individualistic sculptures have won acclaim wherever they've been shown and are held in many private and corporate collections. His work has been featured in Ceramic Monthly, American Style Magazine, The Boston Globe, Art and Perception, and The New York Times.

He has exhibited with the Smithsonian Institute, the Sculpture Objects and Fine Craft Show (SOFA) in New York City, and the International Orton Cone Box Show.

To learn more, you can find him at his Vermont studio:
