form: poetry + politics

Form is inevitable in the visual arts. It is the language with which we, as artists, give voice to our ideas. Poetry and politics frames competing issues – at least for this artist. Poetry is something mysterious, that ultimately goes beyond words or forms to an un-nameable. Politics is the art of engaging in discourse and persuasion. This blog and the work within reveals a struggle.

About Me

Caleb Crawford
I am an architect and artist. I have two wildly divergent areas of investigation, and I simplify them to two ideas: Poetry and Politics. On the poetic side are a series of drawings and objects I have variously termed autodidactic drawings, useless drawings, and/or form poems. On the political side, I am deeply involved in issues of energy and the environment. At various points these vectors, in their twists and turns, intersect.
