Virginia Overton on Ruth Asawa
<p>“There’s an urgency in her work. There’s a rhythm that exists in her drawings and sculptures that I’m really attracted to as well.” On the occasion of <em>Ruth Asawa Through Line</em> we chatted with Virginia Overton about what she finds so inspiring about Asawa’s work. She speaks about two pieces: a print made from the body of a fish, and an ink drawing showing the cross-section of a redwood tree.</p>
