In Dario Robleto’s world, nothing is at it seems: bone is vinyl, hair is magnetic tape, flowers are paper, skeletons are filled with a marrow of Sylvia Plath reciting her poetry. His touch is so deft, so light, that many casual viewers mistake the sculptures for found-object collage.

Any consideration of William Christenberry’s wide-ranging production during the past four decades must take into account the simultaneity of the American South as place and as idea. This odd cultural situation, in which both modes of being co-exist without exact delineation or differentiation, has lodged itself in the regional mind and in a larger cultural
