Ivana Sramkova- Little Birds at Heller Gallery December 4- 24, 2009
In her newest series Ivana Šrámková recycled, reimagined and restored a
box full of inspiring but no longer wanted odds and ends collected over
a lifetime by her mother-in-law, a well known Czech architect. The
various bits and pieces of broken sculptures,... stones and branches
reemerged as the Little Birds—a tender small scale flock which easily carries the larger ideas that are the prerogative of the artist's work.
