Rona Pondick's sculpture "Tilted Yellow" is currently on view, till Aug 27, at the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, Texas, showcasing the museum's latest contemporary acquisitions. The exhibition also includes works by Holly Coulis, Julia Wachtel, Ingrid Calame.

Since 2013 and firstly shown in 2018, Pondick turned her focus from stainless steel to color along with resin and acrylic as new materials for her ongoing sculptural explorations into metamorphosis. "Tilted Yellow" (2014-2018) marks one of her first works using them.
​
With processes involving hand modeling, carving, casting, and 3D computer scanning, "Tilted Yellow" presents a translucent, illuminating, and bizarrely beautiful yellow casting of her own head, evoking a self-portrait, slumber, or introspection—a testament to Pondick's unwavering determination to push the boundaries of materials and identities.
