Nancy Reddin Kienholz may be familiar to some because of her lifelong collaboration with late husband Ed Kienholz, one of the world's most famous assemblage artists. Though her large-scale, mixed-media sculptures at times resemble his in their use of weathered wood, antique furniture, and themes of discarded Americana, this show encompasses a suite of distinctive lenticular prints that reveal hidden elements as the viewer perceives them from different angles. For Kienholz, juxtaposing images (guns and forearms, Santa and Jesus) in this way is a kind of metaphorical assemblage, with a neat optical trick and dash of wit thrown in for good measure.
