Grant Cox makes sculptural installations from found objects. Often the works have kinetic components (see videos here). Grant is from the small Southern Illinois town, El Dorado, and he grew up in an artistic household that was full of stuff — especially furniture that was handed down in the family. Grant was in the recent Pickup Truck Expo at the Icebox, and we saw his work in Young Country at Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery (that traveling show will be on view at DCCA in the fall). He was in the exhibit Contraption at DCCA last Spring. His works are full of whimsy and childhood memories.
