Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC, Features Works by James Grashow

The Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC, is presenting Corrugated World: The Artwork of James Grashow, on view through Aug. 3, 2014.

Brooklyn born sculptor and woodcut artist James Grashow is known for his large-scale sculptures and installations made from cardboard. Grashow has worked with the medium of paper for over forty years exploring the human condition, mortality and the natural world. This exhibition features whimsical, animal-inspired installations as well as new sculptures created specifically for the Cameron Art Museum exhibition.

When asked what keeps him interested in working with cardboard and his constructions, Grashow states, “I have always loved the line between fantasy and reality, metaphor and truth. It seems to me that in that space between the two, people are the most open and willing to see and learn.”

The Cameron Art Museum presents six to eight changing exhibitions annually; ongoing family and children’s programs; a unique program of tours for Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers; The Museum School classes for adult and youth education; interdisciplinary programs (lectures, music, films, literature, dance); Healthy Living Classes and ongoing workshops and classes in ceramics at the Clay Studio with resident artist Hiroshi Sueyoshi.
