Caleb Coppock makes drawings, sculptures, and assemblages of found objects based on his exploration of spaces in constant flux. He is drawn to locations where elements collide, break down, blend, and transform over time– shorelines, riverbeds, sidewalks and forests.
He earned a BFA in sculpture from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and has exhibited work both nationally and internationally.
