Paraph

A Sketch of Yarrow

2018

Yarrow is protector, home, guardian, war. I drew this sketch of yarrow into a plaster silica mould which I dusted with glass powder. The glass powder fused in the kiln so that I could lift the delicate cast out, like a glass printing press, with the sketch in relief.

I was raised in an old farmhouse in Maine, surrounded by plants, tools, animals, community, tumbling rock walls, and a quiet barn full of friends’ forgotten belongings. Those aesthetics translate well to the decay and growth of New Orleans; my work is at home here in the Deep South.

I am a sculptor, preserver, and historical restoration artist. I explore decay, vulnerability, growth and time through the treatment of glass, found objects, light, and plant material. I run my restoration and design business, Paraph, from my home studio in the 7th ward. I use traditional glass techniques inventively.

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College with an intersectional focus on sculpture and literary journalism. I returned to academia in 2022 to get her MFA in glass sculpture at Tulane University. Concurrent with the graduate program I was awarded a community-engaged Mellon fellowship, which offered an opportunity to more fully integrate my studio practice with my social justice commitments. My dream job is to be a sculptural journalist, and I am diligently working to forge that path.

Please contact me about preserving wedding flowers (or any plant important to you) in glass, custom orders welcome! See more at caitlinwaugh.com and on instagram @caitlinezellwaugh
