Clifford Ward: I’ll Make Me A World

Grounds for Sculpture
Hamilton, New Jersey
May 18, 2025–January 11, 2026

The totemic figures in this solo exhibition are crafted by wrapping plaster bandages around an armature and adding details with steel, cardboard, Styrofoam, and other materials. These works, spanning the past decade, reflect the artist’s influences—ranging from global art traditions to cubism and geometry—and situate Ward within the utopian, speculative, and liberatory tradition of Afrofuturism.
