Tom Waldron

"Usually I try to make my sculptures in such a way that the internal relationships all seem resolved; the sculptural space or tension is between the object and the viewer. The sculptures are in some way incomplete until they are installed, and start to alter their surroundings."

For over twenty years Tom Waldron has been transforming sheet steel and concrete into elegant, sensual, and massive forms with surface transitions defined by his mastery of a razor thin line. (The William Siegal Gallery is offering several of these pieces). However, Waldron's latest work takes a radical departure namely, that his signature style forms have been deconstructed and reassembled from the inside out. The resulting architectonic sculptures appear at times to be the architectural ruins from a rough dystopian Art Deco future. In these new works, he courageously assumes the risk every successful mid-career artist must take: to keep insight fresh.
