Sculpturesite Gallery says…

Big-ticket American art sometimes seems to come in one size only: extra-large. Such scaling can be subversive, but all too often it seems like yet another case of "Super-Size Me"-itis. San Francisco's Sculpturesite Gallery invites local artists to explore the joys of the miniature with the Big Ideas, Small Works exhibition. Noa Bornstein's contribution (pictured), for example, plays on the iconic image of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker; by de-emphasizing brawn and weight, she arrives at a distinctly more zen-like representation of the intellect.
