Edwin Hamilton MRSS began his career as a stonemason in 1984. His stonemasonry company, Edwin Hamilton Stoneworks, is based in Northern California and has completed numerous large scale residential and public projects across the United States that are distinguished for their creative and contemporary adaptation of this ancient craft. His sculpture practice has evolved from and is inspired by his work as a stonemason- craft and art are inextricably linked. His sculptural forms are both additive and reductive, assembled and carved. Every aspect of his practice considers the extraordinary, universal power of the ancient craft of shaping and placing stone.
In 2019 he was elected to the Royal Society of Sculptors and has twice presented work (2018, 2020) at the Venice Architecture Biennale exhibit TimeSpaceExistence sponsored by the European Cultural Centre.
