Gallery owner Donald Young picked him up and he kick-started a career in NYC. Unfortunately I missed Josiah speak at The Henry last year. I would have enjoyed hearing him talk about the cosmos and it’s relation to his elaborate sculptural object/chandeliers. One of my clients went and told me it was incredible, mind altering, and changed her perspective about her relationship in the cosmos!

Apparently Josiah was awarded a residency at the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University where he collaborated with OSU cosmologist David H. Weinberg on a model of the Big Bang. 

Josiah’s works from the Total Reflective Abstraction series are also incredible to look at. These works are shown at a few gallery websites including Andrea Rosen.
