“Alyson Shotz’s sculptures perk up a decades-old post-Minimalist idiom with a dash of pop science. Ms. Shotz evokes natural phenomena with accumulations of beads, pins and other common materials. She isn’t alone in this — Tara Donovan comes to mind — but her creations have a geekier, less arbitrary aspect. Often they respond to the challenge of visualizing concepts from theoretical physics (string theory, dark matter)…” – Karen Rosenberg for the New York Times.
