Terry Catalano
Terry Catalano (b.1961) is an award winning poet, playwright and artist. He relocated to Provincetown from Los Angeles, his birthplace. Terry forms free standing and wall mounted abstract sculptures with old painted wood found on the local beaches and land fills. As simple as they might appear, some pieces take months to create. "I have to wait for the sea to spit forth the perfect piece to complete a sculpture. I cannot describe the excitement I feel when I come across a painted flaking piece of driftwood or flotsam, the color just barely clinging to it. I then fit it into the sculpture, knowing each piece already has it's own history and that by incorporating it into the art, gives it a whole other context. Some find joy in discovering an unbroken seashell or a sea sanded pebble, where as my joy comes from finding these pieces of wood." Quite incidentally, his art also has the advantage of benefiting the environment by removing this artistic litter from the beaches.
