"It is tempting to overlook this sort of abstract sculpture since it formally resembles what became the preferred institutional standard of 1970s public sculpture, but these selections are surprisingly compelling. The scale of Deming’s work is very human, and gallery lighting surrounds freestanding pieces with layered radiating shadows. Furthermore, the surfaces that retain marks from the grinding wheel subtly change as the viewer moves through the gallery. The experience is markedly different than looking at works by Alexander Calder or Mark di Suvero silhouetted against the sky."
