The work in Ruth Tabancay’s solo exhibition, Geometricity, refers to imagery informed by over 2000-year-old Euclidean geometry and the 19th century discovery of the non-Euclidean hyperbolic plane. She uses materials as diverse as Tyvek®, beeswax, and yarn, for their conceptual and visual impact. Her installation, Interlinked, composed of hundreds of cast sugar tiles, will continue to evolve during the course of the exhibition with its final rendering shown at First Friday on August 1st. www.ruthtabancay.com
