This event has ended.

Previewed in February of this year at the American Museum of Natural History during the International Polar Weekend, Kavanagh’s exhibition focuses on ice tunnels called moulins that are formed when melt water rushes through glacial crevasses.

“The paradox of water as an element of natural beauty and an instrument of destruction fascinates me,” says Kavanagh. She first attempted to express this duality in THE TSUNAMI PROJECT, an exhibition of sculpture based on tsunami waves carved in response to the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004. Reviewing Kavanagh’s exhibition in the December, 2006 issue of SCULPTURE, William Zimmer wrote that “The exalting of something awful is a seeming contraction that might be difficult to assimilate, but it’s the kind of singular tension embraced by the highest art.”
