About the Item

In Rebecca Johnson's surreal sculpture “Water Table,” a single raindrop supports the entire sculpture, much as water underpins all life in our fragile ecosystems. A cast bronze raindrop -- beautifully patinated in rich blues and brown -- balances a much larger carved basalt element on its "head" while standing on a basalt column, itself secured to an off-square basalt base. An optional old growth redwood base is also available, as shown in the last two alternate views. Rebecca Johnson grew up in an art-centric family in rural Hopewell, New Jersey. Her parents were designers, artists, and art educators and "Life is Art" was the family credo. This philosophy enriched and continues to inform Johnson's art and career. She received her BFA from Tyler School of Art and her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She studied bronze casting at the Johnson Atelier in New Jersey and stone carving in quarries in Vermont. Grants, fellowships, shows in galleries and museums, commissions, critical acclaim, and teaching positions at Dartmouth and Kenyon Colleges distinguished her career.  Johnson now lives and works in Mendocino County in Northern California, a place of raw elemental forces. She creates paintings inside a large renovated barn at her studio in the Anderson Valley. The doors of the studio open to a hillside meadow filled with her stone sculpture. The calm beauty of this rural place resonates from her work.
