Series: New Tools for Being

“Kardash’s inaugural installation of ‘New Tools for Being’, is a conceptual group of sculptures dedicated to cross-cultural synergy. Tony Carretta, who runs New Arts Gallery says he was attracted to Kardash’s work because even if you take the concept away, the quality of the work holds up on its own. The conceptual work may be harder to grasp but the artistry inherent in the direct carving and assemblages is engaging on its own. The concept does not outweigh the craftsmanship.” —Tracey O’Shaughnessy
