“Kathleen Ryan: Pink Hook Iron Eyes” at Arsenal Contemporary
Kathleen Ryan’s first New York solo show is like Shel Silverstein’s poemabout the man who planted a diamond come to life: giant, cast-iron queen palm seed pods bear fruit of rose quartz and jade. Other works include a massive pearl necklace made from bowling balls and a pink granite block, carved as if an invisible figure was perched on her throne.
