Caroline Del Giudice is a sculptor and fabricator whose work explores steel as a language of strength, vulnerability, and connection. Using industrial materials and processes, she builds abstract forms that carry rhythm, tension, and emotion, while engaging viewers through scale and presence. Her sculptures act as meditations on the cultural, environmental, and emotional systems that shape our lives, often balancing permanence with change through contrasting finishes and evolving surfaces.
In 2017, she started a custom metal fabrication business, currently working out of a metal fabrication and machine shop in Redford, Michigan. Del Giudice is a 20/20 Emerging Artists Fellow 2020, as well as a recipient of the Mercedes-Benz Emerging Artist Award from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
“Show of Hands,” Caroline Del Giudice’s solo exhibition at PLAYGROUND DETROIT, presents a sculptural investigation into the mechanized, algorithm-driven systems that shape life in our post-cyberspace era. Fusing the visual language of Emoji hand symbols with physical form, Del Giudice materializes the psychological and cultural impact of digital environments—where incessant liking, ranking, and surveillance capitalism blur the boundaries between online and physical worlds.
The exhibition invites viewers to confront the subliminal forces that influence how we express ourselves, process information, and experience power in the age of late capitalism.
