"If people want to look at (Ruth Abernethy's) work and be wowed, the book is Life and Bronze.
"As evidenced in her coffee table book compendium, Life and Bronze: A Sculptor’s Journal, the Ontario-raised Abernethy has created alluring sculptures
and installations that people really, really, really like. "Two of (Ruth Abernethy's) most famous bronze installations are pianist Glenn Gould sitting on a bench in downtown Toronto and Oscar Peterson at his piano at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. They invite people to come close, to interact with the pieces." "'Devotion' is how the renowned Canadian sculptor describes the intimate connection she forms with her subjects, forged from months of studying features to find the character behind them." |
