Ross Sawyers: Eleven Towers
Eleven Towers explores the unstable relationship between architecture and human aspirations, using photography & sculpture, to explore and represent what our homes, shelters, and ruins say about collective dreams and failures.
Ross Sawyers photographs his constructions of sculpture and drawing to explore urban domestic architecture. He has exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, the Henry Art Museum in Seattle, and the Tacoma Art Museum in Washington. His work is included in numerous public and private collections, including the Hallmark Photographic Collection at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the Henry Art Gallery. Articles and reviews about his art include Artweek Magazine, Art Papers Magazine, FOAM International Photography Magazine, and Flash Forward. Sawyers earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography and New Media at the Kansas City Art Institute and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Visual Art at the University of Washington. He is an Associate Professor and former Chair of the Photography Department at Columbia College Chicago.
