    Destructive in Art by Valerie Hegarty

    Valerie Hegarty has a talent for making art history deeply uncomfortable, and that is precisely the point. In her sculptural works, well known paintings and iconic imagery are not preserved or revered. They are attacked. Chewed up. Broken down by the imagined forces of nature, time, and entropy. This is destruction as transformation, not vandalism. And it is fascinating to look at.
