Six sculptural forms arranged in a line on a neutral shelf: a textured white spherical form, an orange geometric lattice structure, a brown organic bulbous shape, a pale blue-green crystalline tower, a dark abstract curved form, and a cream-colored cubic piece with a black handle. The works demonstrate varied materials and surface qualities, from smooth to intricate, exploring themes of volume and repetitive form.

This solo exhibition continues an exploration in sculptural form, of ideas related to parts and wholes. Here this plays out through four structures: a still life, a morphology, a series of ceramic sculptures, and a chandelier. For each of these, the idea of volume is essential - movement between interiors and exteriors, accumulating through iterative repetition - like breath.  

Del Harrow is a sculptor and educator based in Fort Collins, CO. He is an Assistant Professor of Art at Colorado State University and taught previously at Penn State University and Kansas City Art Institute. He has lectured widely: at The University of Colorado, Alfred University, and the Harvard University Graduate School for Design, among others. Harrow has taught a number of workshops (recently at Penland School, Haystack Mountain School, and Cranbrook Academy of Art). His work explores the intersection of digital design with manual and skill based fabrication processes, and has been shown recently at the NCECA conference, The Denver Art Museum, Vox Populi Gallery, and Harvey Meadows Gallery. A large sculpture was recently acquired by the Arizona State University Art Museum for their permanent collection and inclusion in the traveling exhibition “Crafting a Continuum: Rethinking Contemporary Craft”.

  • Six sculptural forms arranged in a row on a wooden shelf against a white wall: a textured spherical form in pale gray, an angular geometric structure in white and orange, a rounded organic mass in warm terracotta, a vertical symmetrical form in pale blue-green with intricate detail, a dark curved sculptural piece, and a cream-colored cubic form with a black element. The works demonstrate varied materials and surface treatments, from smooth to heavily textured.
  • Six sculptural objects arranged in a horizontal still life on a light wood platform: a textured spherical form in lavender, a geometric gold and white faceted structure, an organic brown bulbous shape, a pale blue-green symmetrical form with void spaces, a dark faceted black and blue geometric object, and a cream-colored rectangular form with a black curved element. Clean gallery setting with white walls and gray floor.
  • A light wood bench displays five sculptural objects across its surface: a textured spherical form with geometric patterns, an organic brown mass, a stacked turquoise and white geometric structure, a black and white angular form, and a cream-colored rectangular object with a dark cylindrical element. The arrangement is photographed against a white wall and dark floor in a gallery setting.
