Carol Diamond: Go Ahead, Make Me presents small to mid-sized sculptures built from discarded urban materials — bent metal, broken glass, car parts, cables, and wire mesh — bound with epoxy and concrete. Working without a fixed plan, Diamond transforms cast-off fragments into abstract, organic forms through direct material engagement, influenced by ancient stone sculpture, sacred glass traditions, and her background in antiquities restoration. Rough and irregular yet carefully balanced, the works assert care, repair, and persistence as meaningful creative acts, exploring growth from destruction and beauty from imperfection.
