Along with the book of the same name published by Dashwood Books, they delve into the evolution of the artists’ sculptural techniques and the emergence of some of his best know tropes or characters.

Pamela Sneed’s latest exhibition, Speaking Tongue, will be on view at Dashwood Projects from November 20 to December 21.
