Void 19-718, 50,000 Cable Ties, 8' x 6' x 8', 2008.

Sellars Project Space will host a survey of sculptural work by Colorado artist Joseph Shaeffer. Shaeffer who has worked in many experimental materials; steel, wire, glass, magnets, hardware, will be exhibiting selected works from the last 5 years including 3 works from his new series, Encroachment (...of nature on technology). This survey will include sculptures from primarily three series; Manifest as Tension, Confront/(A)Void, and Encroachment.

Shaeffer has maintained an almost architectural balance in his work throughout his sculptural career. His most-recent work to be displayed (released in 2008) introduced an almost landscape inspired imagery (cut paper) with his newest work delving more into natural elements. The unveiling of his new series will surely enlighten and intrigue collectors.
