Ed Haddaway: Sculptrue
July 17 - October 4, 2009
Born in 1950 in Ft. Worth, Texas, Ed Haddaway's formal education began in 1970 with an Associate Arts degree from Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas, followed by a BFA in 1972 from the University of New Mexico. He entered the graduate program at the University of New Mexico, in 1980.
Ed is a sculptor with an international reputation. "I have pursued the irrational, the unconscious, and the parts of myself that are hard to grab hold of, and I have somehow made freinds with the absurd. I have hacked away at wood, steel and paint looking for some way to grasp the intangible."
His colorful works of painted steel come from his internal world of self-exploration. "I have had to decide what, floating inside, is worth bringing out, and to find the most efficient way to do that." His is a reflection on Carl Jung's ideas to find what activities lead to his happiness. "The ultimate value of all this I will however have to leave to the experts, and the public."
