Goal: the creation of iconic granite sculpture that marks the Modern Era in the sediments of time.
Projects :
Trophies to assist in publicizing the good in our local communities as Breaking News accentuates the ills of our world order.
Resilience, Resistance and Grace derive from carvings in stone and wood done before the tech era. The threesome is produced at desk-top scale as individual 3D resin prints featuring a bearing base that allows each to spin in the fashion of a prayer wheel. .

About Systemthink
...bio
Halsted S Welles is an artist, place maker and the founder of HWA with
a long and successful practice designing and building urban ecological
spaces. He applies this knowledge of natural systems to bring balance
to our built environments. More recently has founded Systemthink LLC,
a collaborative organized by initiatives to create products for well-being.
A fundamental precept is the urge to leave a project, a site, or life itself
in a state to which one would wish to return.
A horticulturist by upbringing, sculptor and designer by training, Welles
works at the intersection of natural and built systems.
Halsted S studied at Yale University's School of Art and Architecture
(BFA, MFA) and its School of Environmental Studies. As an
undergraduate at Antioch College (BA), he worked for Fish and Wildlife
in Michigan, Marine Fisheries in Maryland, and nurtured his taste for
aesthetics with a year apprenticing to a sculptor in Paris.
The integration of art, design, horticulture and the well being of mankind
present and future, manifests in all the work Halsted S produces. His art
explores the context of “things” and the spaces between. His philosophy
is to love the Biome as one loves one’s family.
In 2000 Welles received the Monuments Conservancy Perennial
Wisdom Award “for perpetuating the perennial values that are the
foundation … for a stable society.” His professional views have been
heard in lectures, critiques, consultations and classes; images of his
work can be found in numerous publications.
