| In his suspended wall pieces, freestanding sculptures,
small assemblages, and mural projects, Wilmarth explored balance, strength,
fragility, tension, translucence, and light. Celebrated for his abstract
sculptures of glass and metal combining formal beauty with a poetic sensibility,
Wilmarth juxtaposed a fragile, frosted blown-glass orb with rugged bronze
and steel plates in the Museum's work. |
