Solo Exhibition Series at Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park:
Stating in the year 2009, the Solo Exhibition Series are presentations of exceptional artwork by nationally and internationally recognized artists. The exhibition is generously supported by BMO Harris Bank. The first in the series was 12-figure installation “Horizons” by Icelandic sculptor Steinunn Thorarinsdottir [2009]. This was followed by “Neil Goodman in the Park” [2011] and Sophie Ryder’s “Upside Down, Kneeling” [2012].

Conceived and executed in a spare, yet dramatic Icelandic setting that combines an exhilarating combination of ocean, earth and sky, the figures wring a new, psychological tension from their placement in the prairie landscape set in north-eastern Illinois. The standing figures possess a single horizontal glass insert in their upper torso. A seated figure survey the setting with no such illumination.
