BIOGRAPHY:
Jamie Calderwood is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between the architectural imagination and the natural landscape. A trained landscape architect, he studied sculpture at Syracuse University in the late 1970s with Rodger Mack and later with Allen Klein at Massachusetts College of Art and Ellen Driscoll at Bennington College. Like Maya Lin, Allan Wexler, and Gordon Matta-Clark, Mr. Calderwood draws on his architectural background to express a unique artistic vision. His work has been exhibited in galleries and outdoor installations throughout New England, and has been favorably reviewed by the New York Times, The Boston Globe and The Providence Journal.
