Douglas Culhane: Sculpture

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | In July, Douglas Culhane's sculptures will take up residence in the Barn at the Robert Frost Stone House Museum. Made of steel and wood, they draw from the forms and processes of everyday utilitarian objects to create sculptures that ask questions about the relationships of form and function, utility, and imagination.

Also included in the exhibition is the piece "After Apples," a sculpture made in response to, and in collaboration with, a relic of Robert Frost housed in the Frost Barn. This object, the hollowed-out trunk of the last apple tree from the Stone House Grounds that Robert Frost planted, embodies its life story of growth, death, and decay. 

Douglas Culhane is an artist who works in sculpture, drawing, poetry, and hybrid forms. His work often combines word and image. He has been the recipient of grants, fellowships and residencies from organizations, including the New York Foundation for the Arts, MacDowell, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Yaddo, and The Edward Albee Foundation. He is a Senior Lecturer in Art at Amherst College (where Frost taught for many years), and lives in Churchtown, NY.
