Waxcast: Creations by Earl Jones
Co-curated by Allison Gulick & Elliot Keeley
Waxcast: Creations by Earl Jones is a retrospective exhibition celebrating the life and extraordinary work of Baltimore artist, entrepreneur, and inventor Earl Jones (1951-2024). The exhibition features Jones’ jewelry, sculpture, and wall hangings, as well as images and ephemera from his multifaceted life. Waxcast explores three significant elements of Earl’s career: his early sculptural works, his casting business, and the evolution of his work as a jeweler. Well-known for his culturally specific aesthetic and his remarkable heat patinas, the exhibition showcases work from every period of Earl’s career and reflects his obsessive commitment to craftsmanship and quality. From simple copper rings to intricate castings, his dedication to perfecting his craft is ever present. Through the exhibition, viewers will gain insight into the remarkable depth and breadth of Earl’s career, as well as his contributions to the broader arts ecosystem — particularly his support for and involvement in spaces for Black creatives.
