Nancy Grossman "Combustion Scapes"
Michael Rosenfeld Gallery
This event has ended.
The exhibition features eight mixed media collage drawings and two large-scale assemblages inspired by Kilauea Volcano— believed to be the home of Pele, the Hawaiian fire and volcano goddess— which the artist visited in 1992 while in Hawaii for the opening of her last traveling retrospective at the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu. The collages are unique in that they are the only body of work Grossman has ever created in direct response to something external to her own psyche. The show is especially timely given the volcanic, seismic, and meteorological disruptions that have ricocheted around the world in the last several years.
