About the Program

Cal Lane's Gutter Snipes I is an aluminum-coated steel sewer pipe that is carved away into an ornate collage of figures and organic designs. This positive relief sculpture reveals a collision between the damned and the divine. The definition of "gutter snipe" refers to a street urchin in the slums of the city or a person of the lowest caste in society. Within patterns of Gutter Snipes I, cityscapes emerge amongst clouds of curls and vines; angels cradle fanged animals while small creatures nip at the heels of silhouetted figures.
