NEW YORK, NY
AFA of SoHo presents "Eureka", an exhibition of 16 new liquid sculptures by Tanya Clarke.
The artist's on-going 'Liquid Light' series experiments with the fusion of art, function & environmental consciousness by creating a visual reminder of the precious commodity that water is and our need to protect this natural resource. Low-voltage lights, hand-sculpted glass drops, reclaimed plumbing & hardware are incorporated together as a contribution to the Zero Footprint Movement in the form of 'Liquid Light'.
"Eureka"
Reception to the artist: Thursday, June 20th | 6-8PM
Exhibition: June 20th to September 8th, 2013
Free and open to the public
