Nathan Mabry

A Very Touching Moment (?)

A Very Touching Moment (?) by Nathan Mabry is a sculptural work crafted from cast bronze and welded sheet bronze, combining industrial fabrication techniques with the weight and permanence of traditional metal casting. The piece engages with questions of gesture, intimacy, and ambiguity, as suggested by its tentative, punctuation-marked title. Mabry's use of bronze lends the work a classical gravitas while simultaneously undermining or complicating the sincerity of the moment it purports to depict.
