...missteps with the inclusion of two fascinating sculptures, the first being Thomas Lenk’s “Stratification 21a.” The title may sound more like a math class than a work of art, but the piece has an appeal that transcends mere mathematical experimentation. Lenk has created a vertically arranged “toppled domino” effect of black squares that twist back behind themselves, creating the most literal manifestation of the exhibit’s title...
