Visited these stunning ceramic vessels and forms from "Wonder Working Power" by #theastergates at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The one with the spiky "collar" calls to mind Agnes Martin's Burning Tree (1961) sculpture. vmfa.museum/exhibitions/...

Thrilled to share the terrific line-up of scholars working on sculpture for the #associationforarthistory #Conference2025 at the University of York @forarthistory.bsky.social April 2025

Mostly migrated from X. I'm a NY-based art historian who works on 20th and 21st century sculpture, material culture, and disability aesthetics. My first book, Transformative Objects and the Aesthetics of Play, will be out next month with Bloomsbury (see page 6).
