Description
Through the 1950s and into the '60s Claire Falkenstein focused primarily on experimental glass and metal sculpture techniques. Many of these works would appear to float, either by suspension or by a delicate, nearly improbable balance on the ground. Her drawings at this time appear to be preliminary sketches, working out how a tangle of shapes and lines would sit in a negative space, as with this drawing, done in watercolor and felt tip marker.
