Excerpts from Maine newspapers:
"It is hard to pin a label on Bo Atkinson because his life, his work, his philosophies are so integrated." . . . . . . (His) "Shelves are full of manufacturers' parts catalogs and trade magazines. It is the intellectual workshop of a Renaissance man.". . . . . From an article by Heidi Brugger,writing for The Republican Journal in Maine, USA. Describing his home she wrote: "...as a melding of a Zen garden, a French provincial homestead and Roman or even Etruscan ruins."
Richard Grant, writing about some of Bo's work , (land sculpture), for The Maine Times, (Garden Supplement): "The Garden is full of secrets, shaded alcoves and hidden ponds, and you are always catching glimpses of new sights, further surprises, where the mown pathways twist around corners, and passages."
And about my stone sculpture he wrote:
"...figures... that stand here and there in shady bowers, seeming to preside over tiny private fairylands..."
Bo's many pages on structural concepts and innovative designs.
"To build a symbol, hire a sculptor"."Tastefully imperfect, naturally harmonious" Are some cheerful trademarks adopted long ago. Human imperfection and a need for balance seem important to remember as a contrast to the boastfulness of commercialism. CAD (computer aided design) was begun in 1992. Many areas of service: environmental-conservation issues, materials science and electronic physics are balanced with creative philosophy and sculptural gardening. Work Background.

Harmoniously skilled with both heavy-equipment and subtle-energies.
Consider hiring me for your earth work project. I can rent needed equipment for carefully planned results.
Read about Bo's low cost sand molding methods, click here.
Some specific information on my sand casting technique was published in a 2007 book. This 2007 book documents some sand casting and ring reinforcement methods. Many photos show multiple steps of forming 5 easy to make pieces-- Easy examples, which call for a reader's personal, imaginative input. It shows close up views of the process. The publisher did not hire me to develop imaginative input. The book contract specified a rush job, of several days to complete the entire project. The rough texture product fits naturalized, somewhat wild, gardening styles, not the highly trimmed or polished-manufactured stylization.
