Galia Linn’s Cognitive Resonance with Shana Nys DambrotRSVP to receive Zoom link to join as the date nears.Sculptor and site-specific installation artist Galia Linn is influenced by her early childhood in Israel, a land full of ancient and contemporary relics of past and present civilizations. Linn’s work engages both her physical body and the emotional and historical resonance of her life through manipulation of materials. What appears fragile is, in the end, rock strong; the cracks turn into windows that reveal the internal makeup of the vessels, metaphors for resilience and beauty, and serve as a testament of surrender. Linn will offer a behind-the-scenes look at works in progress at her Blue Roof Studios, while conducting a conversation with art critic, curator, and author Shana Nys Dambrot. Q&amp;A will follow.
