Caitlin Ezell Waugh’s solo exhibition Besom is a selection of kiln-formed glass brooms. These new works consider brooms as vessels and examine their capacity for containment, release, and becoming. The radically delicate forms dissolve distinctions between broom and book and they provide evidence that our breath, sound, movement, bodies, are besoms. Tools for tending, these prayer-objects were created to indulge the sacred in the mundane.

Caitlin Ezell Waugh (she/her) is a sculptor, preserver, and historical restoration artist based in New Orleans, Louisiana. She explores decay, vulnerability, growth and time through the treatment of glass, found objects, light, and plant material. Relationships between plants and people, especially in the context of stewardship, ceremony and the body, are central to her studio practice, research, and civic engagement. Her sculptural journalism responds at the intersection of environmental and social justice. Waugh received her BA from Hampshire College and her MFA from Tulane University.
