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.

These images illustrate Norman’s fascination with the shapes and lines of nature. Throughout his career, he would often incorporate actual leaves, shells, rocks, earth and other materials into his work, often fixing the natural object in translucent plastic or epoxy for a kind of contemporary amber effect. Always a tactile artist, Norman’s works on paper, sketches and preparation models reveal his lifelong impulse toward the sculptural.
