Eric Tillinghast’s sculpture and installations explore the intersecting forms of the natural and the man-made world. Inspired by the large-scale format and physical sensibility of artists such as Michael Heizer and Donald Judd, Tillinghast constructs minimalist arrays and structures that utilize water as a both a subject and a medium for artmaking. “Most of my works are essentially vessels, meant to lend the water a shape and form,” he says, “which gives the work a kind of diaphanous presence.” Often made with industrial materials and processes, Tillinghasts’ vessels and environments create a unique contrast between geometric logic and visceral wonder.
