THE STORY, IN BRIEF
C& remembers sculptor Melvin Edwards, whose welded-steel works connected abstraction with histories of racial violence, labour and diaspora. The obituary traces his Lynch Fragments, teaching and exhibitions alongside enduring relationships with West Africa, including a home and studio in Dakar. It presents those exchanges as central to a practice developed across decades.
