forever falling.
2010, and 1970
1. Anthony Pearson Untitled (Tablet), 2010, bronze relief with cobalt patina, unique. From his show this winter in Los Angeles at David Kordanksy... Anthony Pearson's work seems to have grown larger, and multiplied. This work (Tablet) made the strongest impression. Still and seemed to forever slide off the wall. I still think about these falling motions during slow times of the afternoon.
2. Lynda Benglis ‘Wing’ (1970) cast aluminum. To those in New York that are able to see her works at the New Museum, GO GO GO! Oh 1970, the decade had begun, and her work is evidence of all things to come. I can only image the excitement and curiosity she felt as these forms began to harden.

"Over the past forty years, Lynda Benglis has developed a distinctive and influential sculptural language. Benglis rose to prominence during the 1960s and ’70s, a time when her singular practice both intersected with and transcended the categories of post-Minimalism and feminist art. Benglis’s sculptures suggest a remarkable range of influences, including the gestures of Abstract Expressionist painting, geological flows, and ceremonial totems.
They rely on both exposing process and crafting feats of illusion to create sumptuous forms."
