SUNDAY, MAY 29 , 2022. THE WASHINGTON POST PG EE E5
BY MARK JENKINSentry. Many of the pieces hang
in midair, and are at least partly
wispy. Kass McGowan suspends
a set of dinner napkins, each
inserted with a page from an old
reference book. Tory Cowles
dangles columns of found
objects, many colorfully
painted, in a sort of three-string
circus. The piece casts
intriguing shadows, as do Cindy
Winnick’s soft sculpture of a
dancer with oversize feet and
Mahy Polymeropoulos’s “Sea
Urchin,” which reduces the
creature to a nest of blue wires.
Natural forms also inform
such wall sculptures as Lisa
Battle’s “Ripple,” which suggests
a babbling brook with eight
interlocking curved ceramic
bars, and Liz Lescault’s “SunStroke,” whose elaborately
patterned central ceramic form
is surrounded by pincers made
of plastic. A more topical use of
plastic is Nic Galloro’s “Stop the
Flow,” in which a pipe
discharges not water but a
seven-foot-high stream of
throwaway bottles.
Electronic-device refashioner
Chris Combs sculpts with light,
ironically hiding twinkling
LEDs behind a dirty rag. Jenny
Wu assembles small pieces of
pigment in patterns to make a
sculpture that’s also a painting.
Alyssa Imes fabricates in cast
iron more than 50 sets of lips,
which are scattered on the floor.
Imes’s unorthodox use of a
standard sculptural material is
echoed by Alan Rhody’s “Jax-in-the-Box,” which looks like a
flimsy children’s toy but was in
fact carved from a block of
limestone. Metal and stone do
appear in “Sculpture Now 2022,”
but most often in amusingly
deceptive guises.Sculpture Now 2022 Through June

Sally Davies’s work “Inner Strength,” which gets its d epth from the
partial layering of handmade ceramic tiles.Seeking a traditional metal or
stone piece in Harmony Hall
Arts Center’s sprawling
“Sculpture Now 2022,” visitors
may be drawn to Richard
Binder’s graceful “Uplifting.”
But this curled swoop of thin
stainless steel is delicate rather
than monumental. And it’s less
characteristic of the exhibition
than is Mitra Lore’s heavy-metal
contribution, which mocks the
brawniness of a piece of forged
industrial machinery by
adorning it with pearls and
rhinestones.
Such found objects abound in
the Washington Sculptors
