"See You in Hell, From Heaven” is the culmination of two years of work by Craig Calderwood that looks at the functions of low craft materials as a tool for expressing desire and survival. Through paintings and sculpture whose surfaces are flooded with deep narrative, Calderwood explores materials and techniques which helped to move through hostile environments as a queer child. These pieces whose materiality flexes between painting, drawing, and textile are constellations that detail particular themes around love, trauma, and gender in a coded lexicon of patterns and textures.
