...their basic format is constructivist, "drawing in space," their internal imagery is very much not. Her works like Zaga, 1983, or Cantileve, 1983, when one gets down to the detail, begin with a profusion of animal and botanical spare parts that Graves has cast directly in bronze. The things in her delirious lexicon of shapes include the fiddleheads of giant ferns, fragments of woven rattan, dried anchovies, pig intestines from the Chinese market below Canal Street in New York City, leaves of the Monstera deliciosa (another bow of homage, this time to Matisse, in whose late works that indoor plant...
