Boston Sculptors Gallery presents Ed Andrews: Ball of Confusion, an exhibition of interactive sculpture, prints, and new mixed media works. Expanding his exploration of color, movement, and layered dimensional form, Andrews offers a new body of wall sculptures constructed from perforated aluminum and etched brass. Projecting from the walls to cast complex, shifting shadows extending the work beyond its physical boundaries, Andrews’ compositions combine clusters of organic sculptural elements suggesting growth, movement, and the passage of time, evoking both natural systems and abstract topographies.
A new interactive sculpture entitled Rook anchors the exhibition, inviting viewers to select geographic locations of their choice, while the piece responds by providing the live weather conditions of that location, and translates temperature and wind speed into shifting patterns of color, light, and motion. Blending sculpture, technology, and environmental data, Rook transforms atmospheric information into a continuously evolving visual experience shaped by an invisible network of global systems.
The show also features a new series of large-scale, three-color relief prints created directly from the sculptural components themselves. Layers of etched brass were hand-inked and printed onto Copperplate paper, preserving the intricate textures and patterns of the works in a parallel two-dimensional form.
Andrews holds a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from Indiana University. He has taught at Northeastern University, Washington University, and the University of Kentucky. Grants and awards include a Massachusetts Artists fellowship, the NEA Visual Artists fellowship, and the M-AAA NEA fellowship. He has exhibited at Fuller Craft Museum, DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, and Socrates Sculpture Park. Andrews’ public works are installed in Cambridge MA, Rhode Island College, and Boston’s Logan Airport.
