Hello, my name is Randy McCabe and I am a sculptor. I work primarily in stone, metal and wood. For 40 years, I’ve dedicated my life to art.
I was asked by a friend, to create an ash urn for his mother. I was quite humbled at this request. It was an opportunity to use my knowledge of casting, carving, finishing and overall design techniques to create a piece of art which had such a sincere function.
Researching this subject, I found myself trying to understand more about ancient design elements of proportion, color, and material choices, in order to achieve the level of elegance and simplicity required for this classic funerary vessel.
I've designed 5 urns to initiate the series. It was a very uplifting experience and I hope you find an urn here that will inspire you as well.
Thanks For Looking,
Randy McCabe
