About James Grashow

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. Corrugated World: The Artwork of James Grashow will be on view March 8 through August 3, 2014. Tickets to all events can be purchased online, www.cameronartmuseum.org, by phone 910-395-5999, or at the door.
