Ledelle Moe: Disasters

Showing outdoors in the sculpture garden through October 26

South African-born Ledelle Moe will be installing her concrete and steel sculptures in the Sylvia Berlin Katzen Sculpture Garden. Disasters is an exploration into the fragility of power and the provisional nature of permanence through natural or manmade destruction. Employing the human and animal form, this work addresses notions of devastation, evoking some unnamed catastrophic rupture. These massive forms are fragments— still and quiet testimonies to a powerful event.
