Item Description
An artwork by Ruth Hardinger:
Normal Fissure 2, 2011, 22 x 30 in., graphite on rice paper
Ruth Hardinger, an established artist but also inveterate environmental activist, has a strong interest in the force of the underground, the ones always moving below us, even without our noticing. In Pathway 7, for example, she’s trying to reproduce how things underground move after having studied the New York State’s tectonics. The cracks of the paper, the forces interacting with each other still form unity, a stable whole—a metaphor for our society, in which the cracks are deep but the hope to heal and move forward still allows a certain balance, or more intimately of herself, Hardinger’s work demonstrates that what happens below is paradoxically similar to what’s happening above.
