Label TextAthena Tacha is best known for her “cosmocentric sculpture,” site-specific installations that explore relationships and natural phenomena within the universe. The artist applies her interest in scientific thought to the formal qualities of her artwork by creating public sculptures that integrate ripples, steps, and concentric circles into the landscape. Tacha has incorporated similar shapes into this print, titled Knots.William McGregor Paxton
