Ruth Asawa’s iconic looped wire sculptures are the star of her retrospective at SFMOMA. The seemingly infinite variations that she found within the limits of the medium are staggering — the best reductive abstractionists can spend a lifetime trying to achieve the same thing.
Ruth Asawa Showed Us the Way to an Artistic Life
Asawa gracefully wove together many sides — an innovative and singular artist, a tireless advocate for arts education, a community builder, and a loving wife and mother.

🎼 Some of you may know that classical music was my first artistic love, so it feels very special to have written this piece for LA Phil’s Seoul Festival and GYOPO Diasporic Refractions.

Thank you #AhreeLee for the walkthrough of your show at #CraftContemporary for @gyopo.us ! Beautiful show using the links between computing and weaving to think about hybridity and the histories of gendering making.
