“Proximity” by Thaddeus Mosley
Where: Karma
When: April 17 – May 24
Why It’s Worth a Look: Now in his late 90s, Pittsburgh-based sculptor Thaddeus Mosley continues to carve with the urgency and intuition of a jazz solo. Working exclusively with salvaged Pennsylvania hardwoods, Mosley transforms sycamore, cherry, and walnut into towering, organic forms that bend tradition toward improvisation.
Know Before You Go: Mosley uses only a chisel and mallet, preserving the grain’s natural flow. Each piece is a call-and-response between hand and timber—one that makes his forms feel both ancient and alive.
