Responses to the Foggini Bronze Collection. Two new porcelain works commissioned by the Art Gallery of Ontario for their permanent collection.

The sculptures respond to the Greek myths The Rape of Proserpine and Perseus Slaying Medusa, as encountered in Foggini’s 17th century Italian bronzes from the AGO’s historical collection. This special project was instigated as one of a series of contemporary interventions, marking the AGO’s grand opening after Frank Gehry’s redesign.
