Join two artists whose practices engage painstaking verisimilitude in this conversation with Chris Bradley and Dabin Ahn. Bradley is known for his miniature-scaled sculptures, perfectly mimicked pretzel rods, and matches in bronze at an exact one-to-one scale. Ahn creates sculptural representations of objects in unlikely materials like a Pink Panther foam board and delicate “ceramic” teacups. This panel will explore the process of life size scale in addition to development of materials to perfectly trick the viewer.
