This installment features Stephen Gleadow

通过从垃圾桶和其他人们忽略或不屑的地方拾起材料，斯蒂芬·格莱多(Stephen Gleadow)认识到并揭示了材料的隐藏和真实价值。他的艺术是残酷的“面对现实”，但建立在信念、还未见的希望和对真理热爱的基础上。通过回收那些被视为毫无价值的东西-修补残骸，收集失丧者，给其命名和位置-斯蒂芬·格莱多(Stephen Gleadow)为人们带来了新的生命形态和死者的新生命。

Through picking up materials from dust bins and other places that people ignore or despise, Stephen Gleadow recognizes and brings to light a material’s hidden and true value. His art is a brutal “in your face reality” but is built on a foundation of faith, hope unseen, and love of truth. Through reclaiming that which is viewed as worthless—mending the broken, gathering the lost, giving it a name and a place—Gleadow brings new forms to life and new life from the dead.
