ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is about the search for the infinite. For the past several years I’ve concentrated my efforts toward creating modern, minimalist sculpture with a timeless quality-clean lines and surfaces blended to create constant movement and balance within the occupied space. Infused with this concept of continuous motion, the designs neither begin nor end.
"...powerful in their reflection of surroundings and in their sublime and clean geometric volumes."
Marijana Bego, Ezair Gallery, NYC
"...the polished surfaces of many of his sculptures blur the borders of matter and its surrounding environment. The viewer is left wondering which aspect is visual and which is physical. Thus each piece, at once autonomous and boundless, has a dialectical relationship with its setting. It is in this way that Mr. Stallings’ minimalist approach to abstraction continuously proves itself to be among the most engaging and effective sculpture available today."
Ruthie Tucker, Amsterdam Whitney Gallery,NYC
