Cabot Lyford: Portrait of a Man as Artist

Special | 27m 47s

Dale Schierholt's portrait of Cabot Lyford offers the reflection of a master sculptor.

Filmed primarily at his studio in New Harbor, Maine, Lyford is shown sculpting in wood, using mallet and chisel, chainsaw and sander. The boldness of his direct carving technique is matched by his sensitivity to the materials. He focuses on subjects he loves, whether wildlife or women. The film includes a visit to his graceful Dolphins in Portland among other places.
