Melvin Edwards
American sculptor, born 1937
Edwards is best known for his Lynch Fragment series, a body of wall sculptures of everyday metal objects—tools, chains, gears, and blades—forged together in abstract forms. The sculptures recall the legacy of slavery and racial violence in American history. The artist has also experimented with print work and large outdoor sculpture commissioned by public and private institutions.
