  • More from the cutting room floor

    Picking up from my recent post about sharing overlooked sketches and process work, below is another installment from the cutting room floor.

  • Overlooked

    I’ve been doing quite a lot of file organizing and digital “housekeeping” so to speak lately.

The show beautifully represented the breadth of Mr. Kentridge’s work. I…
