statement

ethan caflisch’s practice is multidisciplinary; combining painting, sculpture, photography, and film.

often merging graphic clarity with shaky-hand-made elements.

using materials like linen, canvas, wood, and found objects.

exploring themes of communication, memory, and maintenance - both emotional and physical.

creating a dialogue between utility and subjectivity, and between the personal and the universal.

the work is often identifiable by its flattened forms, visible repairs, and use of subtle embraced texture, reflecting ideas of impermanence and care.
