Maria Nepomuceno in ‘More Simply Put’ at Sikkema Jenkins & Co

Organic shapes snake around and into a wooden box in this work by Brazilian artist Maria Nepomuceno, suggesting that whatever is inside cannot be contained. A trumpet-like ceramic form introduces the idea of broadcasting sound, offering the possibility that an unheard song might further animate this alluring organism. (At Sikkema Jenkins & Co through June 30th).

Maria Nepomuceno, Untitled, ropes, beads, ceramic, wood, fiberglass and resin, 27.5 x 29.125 x 24.375 inches, 2015.
