Mutual Aid | Eric Tuck-Macalla 

Horizon Gallery

January 10- March 15, 2025

Sculpture in this exhibition exists along the margins of life and reflects the places we don’t want to look: Unused land, vacant lots, abandoned industrial sites. The work serves as a potent reminder about the delicacy of being on the edge of ruin, a reality that many face. While working with mundane materials, Eric Tuck-Macalla is thinking of a poem about the feeling of scarcity; a construction that is creating shelter and building community.

Eric Tuck-Macalla graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1986 with a degree in Sculpture. As a carpenter, he has served as Director of Building and Housing at the City of Bay Village‘s Building Department since 2010. Tuck-Macalla had some early success after graduation with a solo show at the Sculpture Center and FAVA gallery along with group shows at SPACES and Ohio State University. He restarted his career about 12 years ago and has been actively showing his work since 2022, with group shows at Yards Projects, ROYGBIV Gallery, Indiana University, and juried shows in upstate New York, Boston, and Kentucky. Tuck-Macalla currently lives in Bay Village, Ohio.
