John Atwood is an artist and designer who resides in the Western Catskill Mountains, West of the Hudson Valley, in the orbit of New York City.

John Atwood makes sculpture in carved wood, cast bronze, clay, and knit or knotted natural fibers. Pieces sometimes combine multiple mediums. Works are often small, suggesting the possibility of portability and ritual. They explore the natural world, psychological states, and the roots of human nature.

John explores ways to merge fine art and with game concepts. Art can be abstract, open-ended, and eternal. Games encourage investment in an experience, interaction, and making choices. A game asks the participant to live for a moment within a different world, abiding by different rules.

John is enthusiastic about merging these artforms.
