Since the mid-1970s, Puryear has created a body of sculpture that builds on the tradition of organic abstraction. Carrying this tradition forward, Puryear incorporates a minimalist simplicity of form and an emphasis on process and materials that aligns him with postminimalist sculptors. His approach to making sculpture is based on traditional craft techniques.
