Jonas Woods on the High Line

New residential buildings are springing up on 10th Ave like weeds, making this billboard-sized domestic scene by LA artist Jonas Woods strangely appropriate.  The personality of each plant is enhanced by quirky pots – most of which resemble creations by Wood’s wife, ceramic artist Shio Kusaka.  (On the High Line at 18th Street through Feb 3rd.)

Erin Shirreff at Lisa Cooley Gallery

At over nine feet tall, New York-based Erin Shirreff’s hot-rolled steel sculpture ‘Drop (no. 3)’ is imposing without being overbearing.  The elongated shapes, hung from a steel rod, derive from paper scraps created by the artist and turn leftovers into the monumental main attraction.  (At Lisa Cooley Gallery on the Lower East Side through June 23rd).
