Seth Callander: Flatfile


  • Ely Center of Contemporary Art 51 Trumbull Street New Haven, CT 06510 USA (map)

Opening Reception Sunday April 14, 2024, 1-3 pm

FLATFILE features a series of Seth Callander’s pastel drawings.

“These were made at the end of a difficult two year period, and in a way, it was this work that returned me to the studio. They reflect a response to loss and illness, but have come to represent a recovery. I found the way in was in nature, an allegory of our place in the world, and the forces we face. After dozens of them, they began to become sculpture in a figurative sense, and after this episode of working solely on paper, I was able to begin to again to make literal sculpture. These are the bridge between events, and their translation into the structure of the world we live in- in all its seen and unseen dimensions. 

It all starts with drawing.” - Seth Callander
