Ruth Asawa saw the shadows of her wire sculptures as part of the art itself. Her children agree—read on for their thoughts, then head to “Ruth Asawa: Retrospective” to experience the mesmerizing shadows of these works in person.
✨Addie Lanier: “Transparency is part of the magic of her work. They have this lightness to them, and it’s almost because of the shadows. I think it’s almost like they transform.”
✨Paul Lanier: “It’s more clear in the shadow how it’s made rather than just by looking at the piece.”
✨Aiko Cuneo: “The shadow — it’s just like having another sculpture.”
