Glass Sculptures by Graham Caldwell
Graham Caldwell’s organic glass forms and steel sculptures evoke the inner workings of the body or suspended, exploded bloom – like shapes. Connections and interdependency are reoccurring themes in Caldwell’s fluid, luminous sculptures. Caldwell has exhibited work at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Octagon Museum of the American Architectural Foundation, and Broadway Windows in New York City.
“I am interested in the intersection of the organic and the mechanical, as is exemplified by the joints of skeletons, the bifurcations of plants, or the veinwork of the electrical grid. Joints between parts are important events within individual works, and the concept of connection and interdependence is a central theme. The connections often involve lines which open into volumes or congeal into droplets. My sculptures embody the fluidity of glass and its ability to amass light. The parts are purposefully joined together to structure the amorphousness of their arrangement, and to fasten them to their own weightlessness. They are simultaneously invisible and visible. I am looking for the bones of the invisible.”
