James Siena, Kinked Non-Slice, second version, 2008, app. 20 x 16 inches
.
I saw this small painting of James Siena's at the Pace Wildenstein booth at Art Basel Miami Beach. I thought of it again when Laura Moriarty, an who lives upstate, sent me some images of her new work, visceral sculptures made with textured sheets of pigmented wax that had been rolled and sliced, sort of like jelly rolls. I liked the visual connection. Then I mentally related them to a painting of Sharon Horvath's, which I'd seen in her show in November at Lori Bookstein Fine Art in Chelsea.

Next week I'll post installation images from Horvath's exhibition, but for now let me make a convoluted connection between and among these three works.
