Emile Norman’s lifelong passion for art was inspired by the forms and flow of nature. Working with wood, bronze and marble as well as modern materials like epoxy resin and plastic, Norman created imaginative objects of enduring beauty and originality. This intimate film explores his life and art, his experiences as an artist in New York and his deeper connection to Big Sur. The film is also a love story between two men who were devoted both to one another and to Norman's art.

Norman’s sculptures, in stone, bronze, and his own signature wood-inlay technique, reflect his lifelong connection to nature. His house itself is designed as a work of art, with his work carefully inlaid into its walls and windowsills. This video allows 360-degree views of some of Norman’s beautiful sculptural work.
