I wanted to encourage you again to visit Wave Hill in the Bronx. Walk the glorious grounds and peruse the gardens and conservatory. While you are there be sure to enter the Glyndor House and head for the Sunroom Project Space to examine “W/hole,” a mixed media installation by Annie Varnot.
The piece is comprised of hollowed poultry eggs set into white gypsum cement. Each egg was deemed not up to retail standards with one sort of irregularity or another. Two video monitors and one small projection chronicle the process of creating the sculptures. The highly personal work is an artistic response to the Varnot’s recent battle with cancer.
