I had a great time visiting the David Zwirner gallery with my husband and nephew, where we had the privilege of a private showing of three of Ruth Asawa's smaller sculptures. Wow, what an amazing experience to be up close and personal with this wonderful artist's creations which are so intricate. I'd like to thank Laura Edelman and Jonathan Laib for allowing us this opportunity. I'll be sure to go back in mid September for the opening for the full show of her work. This was just what I needed for a boost of inspiration to finish the sketches for Ruth Asawa: A Sculpting Life by Joan Schoettler for @pelicanpub #childrensbookillustration #process #art #sculptures #ruthasawa #biography #kidlitart #kidlitartist #picturebookillustration #reference #referencegathering #museum #museumexcursion #picturebook #inspiration
