Driftwood Art

Tom Loback is an artist and sculptor in New York City.
For the last 5 years,
he has been creating
driftwood sculpture
on the banks of the
Hudson River
from 96th St.up to 125th St.
along the beautiful and
panoramic Cherry Walk.

Cherry Walk runs along
the Hudson River
(also known as the North River) without the railings and roads that keep folks from their river elsewhere in Manhattan.

Over the years Tom has created well over 1,000 driftwood sculptures using the driftwood that the Hudson River brings. He neither binds nor alters any piece of driftwood for his art. The work is absolutely accessable - no rope or guard keeps the viewer from the art. Each completed piece lives out a life of its own. Sometimes this is a day, sometimes a piece lasts years. There's a sensation to working outside a studio, 'en plein air', as the impressionists did that can't be found in the studio.
