Figure 8: New Works by Lance Letscher will open at TAI Modern. Letscher will be in attendance to discuss the work and his process. The pieces in Figure 8 explore the artist’s ongoing interest in texture, color, and composition through ornithological and environmental imagery, inspired by a trip to the Texas coast. In discussing his recent work, Letscher said, “I’ve really tried to knuckle down and make the cutting more expressive and more intricate.”
