Ruby Sky Stiler at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery
From straight on, Ruby Sky Stiler’s large new sculptures of female heads and bodies look like bronze architectural features intended for the metalwork of a gate or fence. Actually made of wood with two intersecting perpendicular panels, their legibility morphs as the viewer walks around them; clustered in pairs or groups, they suggest a silent community of watching women. (At Nicelle Beauchene Gallery through Dec 20th).
