Aric Obrosey in ‘Reticulate’ at McKenzie Fine Art

If it isn’t obvious that New York artist Aric Obrosey’s paper artwork ‘Hand Production Lines’ involves a lot of work, hand cut motifs repeated to form lace-like chains come together to depict a giant work glove.  Created for the Museum of Art and Design’s ’09-’10 exhibition featuring cut paper artworks, the piece involves a mind boggling amount of detail and took nine months to complete.  (At McKenzie Fine Art on the Lower East Side through Aug 17th).
