Cookstown, NJ , USA – WEBWIRE – Friday, June 20, 2025

Barry Woods Johnstons literary debut, Seed: First of the Trilogy Renaissance: Healing the Great Divide, is a powerful philosophical and artistic reflection on a world plagued by moral erosion, spiritual confusion, and cultural collapse. With a B.S. in Architecture from the Georgia Institute of Technology and classical training in art institutions across the U.S. and Europe, including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design, Johnston brings both intellectual depth and artistic sensibility to this urgent and timely work.

This book follows the inner and outer battles of an artist reckoning with injustice, economic turmoil, and global disarray. In a society overwhelmed by triviality and spiritual decay, Johnston calls for a return to labor, truth, and faith. He emphasizes the beauty and worth of traditional craftsmanship, using sculpture as a metaphor for rebuilding the human soul. Through storytelling and introspection, Johnston inspires readers to seek clarity and purpose amid cultural noise.

Driven by a personal struggle to make sense of lifes chaos, Johnston wrote Seed not as a mere artistic endeavor, but as a spiritual calling. A native of Florence, Alabama, raised in Huntsville, and now based in Baltimore, Maryland, Johnstons lifelong dedication to sculpture and study, both academic and spiritual, has shaped his unique voice as a creator and thinker. His years of independent study in Italy and Switzerland further grounded his perspectives in both artistry and theology.

Foreword Clarion Review hails Seed as a riveting portrait of an artist whose beliefs about art, religion, and politics intersect. The book is thoughtfully structured, following Johnstons journey in chronological order and complemented by powerful imagery of his bronze sculptures that bring depth and resonance to the narrative.

Seed: First of the Trilogy Renaissance: Healing the Great Divide motivates readers to rediscover faith, value craftsmanship, and stand firm in the pursuit of truth. An engaging and thought-provoking read, the book is now available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
