By his own account, Tom Lingeman's cast and fabricated metal works are  rooted in a fascination with ritual icons, funerary vessels and the mystery embodied in monumental sculptural objects.

​

“Like ‘standing stones’, by their very permanence on the landscape, they mark time and space for us.”  

​

Lingeman’s series of vertical freestanding sculptures represent a further extension of this concept while reflecting the artist’s personal and long-held interest in the monuments of the American rural cemetery.

Working primarily in cast bronze and welded steel, Tom Lingeman is also a draughtsman who uses drawing as a means of designing and planning sculpture as well as an end in itself.
