Graham Caldwell is from Washington D.C. He used to
attend lots of schools which are Rhade Island School of design in Providence
and studied glass there, Haystack Mountain School of crafts, Deer Isle Maine in
1988, The Studio of the Corning Museum of glass, Carning applied Arts in
Prague, Czech Republic, Pilchuk glass school, Stanwood in Washington in 1995
and parsons school of design in New York city from 1992 to 1995. He returned to
his home in Washington completing his studies were he exhibited his sculptural
installations at the Ripley fine art in
2003, the Corcorm gallery of art, millennium art centre 2001 and the octagon museum
of American architecture these are the exhibitions were he exhibited his work
in them. This is where his work was becoming to be known. He is inspired from
the intersections of the organic and mechanical joints of the body with the skeletons
and the change of life of the plants. Joints between parts helped him to
develop his work by joints as the centre of connection which then they open
into other lines and droplets and connect to the end. His installations are
mostly made of glass and he plays with light to give it the full effect. The installations
are made to interlock every each one to another one to seal them into a whole
thing. Some of the locks are visible but some are not, just like the bones of
the body which are yet visible but yet invisible.
My comments:
I chose the artist because he is different by the
means of shapes and subject of design. His work consists of water which he is
inspired from which gives the artist ideas on how you can make it as an
installation.
His work: the
most work which hit me the most is the one which h is made out of glass
concrete and water which is like a waterfall.
One of them the Elizabeth tears gives me the sense of
science and its laboratory.
It’s true they
look like tears but they look like beakers at the same time.
His installations have to be made on the on-going of
the structures because of the fitting.
