Painted steel wire, 12" x 8 1/2" x 1/2"

CW Roelle has been drawing with wire since the mid ‘90s. He first took up the pliers when the pencil line felt too removed. While attending The Maryland Institute College of Art he made his first wire pieces based on figure models from life drawing classes. He now makes a variety of images from small object portraits to interweaving narratives commenting on the delightful and mundane world around us. Roelle’s work is in the collections of The Newport Art Museum, Fidelity Investments and Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. He lives in western Rhode Island and works as a postal carrier.
