Ruth Asawa born 1926
was a Japanese American artist known for her hanging interlocking looped wire sculptures. Her weightless forms within forms cradle one another.
The smaller forms surrounded by larger forms are interdependent
and inseparable from one another.
The inside and outside surfaces are one.
Her creations are fragile yet strong silhouettes.
