Tad Gloeckler is an Associate Professor in the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA. Gloeckler has been teaching for over 20 years (fifteen years at UGA), and was in architectural practice ten years prior to teaching. Before starting his career in art, design, and architecture; Gloeckler worked on conservation initiatives with the National Forest/Park Service and Fisheries Departments. Gloeckler’s art/design projects intend to encourage viewers to reexamine familiar objects and surroundings, cultivate a curiosity of all earth life forms and processes, and contemplate unique mediations of nature and human existence.
Serving the expanding desires of a human population generates environmental consequences. His art projects consider complex interactions between preservation and development. Environmental ethics and landscape stewardship are issues that frequently emerge. These multifaceted projects embrace a methodical and deliberate design process. Beautiful assemblage (the art of fitting together) is an essential aesthetic concern. Complexity is deceptive; individual components are precisely engineered for simple function, structural clarity, and/or striking appearance. Invention is a standard.
