A Pattern Language
My show at KLG Gallery in February of 2020 will feature sculpture assembled from foundry patterns. The Bigelow Boiler Company was a major New Haven industry for over a century, and many of these beautifully made wood patterns for casting in iron came from the National Pipe Bending Co., a Bigelow subsidiary. I rescued these from an attic of the old factory building over in Fair Haven not long before it was finally torn down, and I am very pleased to be able to give them another life.
