The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill held an opening for “Mel Kendrick: Seeing Things in Things” — the first major survey of Kendrick’s work highlighting his four-decade career, on November 5.

On view through February 19, the exhibition explores how Kendrick, one of America’s renowned contemporary sculptors, pushes the limits of his materials — wood, rubber, and concrete — to create sculpture that lays bare the process by which it was made, manipulating the language of abstraction with wit and rigor. Through his creative inquiry, Kendrick invites viewers to think about the relationships between representation and abstraction, sculpture and the body, organic and synthetic, and natural and made by hand.
