When I work with mirror, I find myself reflecting on perception; specifically, I am interested in the differences between the way we see ourselves, we want ourselves to be seen, we think we are seen, and how each other person sees us. The relationships between each of these ways of perceiving leave lots of gaps to jump with our imagination. This line of thought drives my sculptural mirror process. I do not make patterns when making work; I let myself find flow by creating a pallet of shapes and colors and arranging them like river stones.

Artist + Caitlin Ezell Waugh
Follow this artistI 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.
