Ritsue Mishima’s sculptures arise from an intuitive knowledge of the medium’s reactive qualities, their dynamism translating through ever evolving biomorphic forms and a fluid sense of movement. Her sculptures are exquisite both in their textural details and subtle refractions, with light or luminance being at the heart of her virtuosic practice.Closing Saturday, October 26, 2019rana@luhringaugustine.comJaime Guerro at Pittsburg Glass Center
