ARTCAT

February 3 - March 10, 2007

The exhibition will consist of two sculptures and several drawings, all made in the past year. These works continue to explore questions of vulnerability, nature, and history, all through the artist’s unique visual idiom drawing on vernacular American forms.

In our 22nd Street gallery will be a sculpture of a plastic milk crate, resting on a cast of a wooden footstool and filled with sculptures of green Granny Smith apples. Lying across the top of the crate is a Winchester rifle that seems to have melted. Our 21st Street gallery will hold a cast of a wooden footstool with sculpture of an old packing blanket folded on the seat. Each sculpture is painstakingly handmade to look like the natural and machine-made objects they so closely resemble.
