Don Dougan
Stone is usually the primary material Don uses for the major element in his work, although a diversity of other materials are used to contrast and complement the stone.
Each type of material is chosen for its unique qualities, and each quality adds a depth to the expression of the work.
Though working with the juxtapositions of a variety of materials, Don first and foremost considers himself a carver. In the process of carving it is the material which is the genesis of all other considerations for the sculptor.
In other words, it all begins with the material.
