quilted linen and canvas, pine and brass brad frame
In this body of work, Caflisch looks to use and repair what he already has. Across the works there is a sense of accountability and an active slow down as the delicacy of placing and balancing the entire body of work resembles the act of making a single piece. As Caflisch continues to think about time and place, as well as thresholds and barriers, he includes a selection of artist proofs from his archive that are a part of previous editions. The artist continues wanting to maintain a variety of different types of work and also wanting the work to be approachable from a variety of angles and layers.

“...still constantly remind myself of H.D. Thoreau’s quote “rather than love, than money, than fame; give me truth.” I think this is a crucial mentality to have as an artist, and any other profession; that success, by any definition, will be found in making honest work.”

EVA CHEN ON ETHAN CAFLISCH
“...WE WERE REALLY LOOKING FOR PIECES THAT SPOKE TO US AND MADE US PAUSE FOR A MOMENT TO ABSORB, APPRECIATE, AND REFLECT. CAFLISCH'S ART ABSOLUTELY HAD THAT EFFECT ON US.”
