"Nina Karavasiles' thought process is so sharp it is at the cutting edge. Her work pushes the envelope almost to the point of falling off the table.

Stapled in layers that must be manipulated to read.
These are slices of paper written in depth of layer
The Ledge
The thing that holds the object is integral to the entire piece.
The holder is equal in importance to the item.
Tool parts.
The Ledger group started when I say these great metal things.
Minimal utilitarian forms.
Broken and no longer useful.
On a shelf or ledge. To support an object. To become part of the total object.
Styrofoam is cut into a shape and the sand is packed around it, hot metal flakes the Styrofoam away.
It is cast aluminum. Made with a sand process.
Synonyms for ledge are; mantle, bracket, edge, jut, offset, projection.
Made by hand Made with common natural substances.
Get up close. now step back and look again. feel comfortable with your own thoughts
