Eric Tillinghast

in Sweden, Tillinghast began his art career in California where he created charcoal drawings.

Tillinghast began making geometric box-like constructions that initially appeared as singular objects but later incorporated water.

[1] This has resulted in an ongoing series of sculptures, installations, paintings, and projects in which water is the primary subject and medium.

Tillinghast has created site specific fountains, wishing wells, and rain machines[2] that explore the social, civic, and pedestrian relationships that people and communities have with water.

[3] His small paintings on paper created with found vintage postcards of various bodies of water embody post-modernist deconstruction, found-object art, vernacular photography, and minimalism.
