Ol’ Iron Eyes

Cassady Edwards, a Miami senior majoring in Art Education and Sculpture, submitted Ol’ Iron Eyes to the Student Response Exhibition. The artwork hangs down upon the art museum’s floor in a stunning display of detail, color, and intrigue. The industrial-style sculpture uses large eyes and a cloud to explore identity and separation.

Edwards explains that the industrial materials represent “the fragmented identity of biological [versus] adopted family,” and the cloud represents the “omnipotence and ever-presence of those who sculpt your identity from separated or remote circumstances.”

Edwards won first place in the Student Response Exhibition with Ol’ Iron Eyes.
