Pat Rybovich's exhibition at the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art presents work that explores the essence of nature and finds her juxtaposing delicate, fragile botanical imagery with molten steel.
Introducing soft and poetic qualities into steel, an aesthetic known for it's cold, masculine qualities, Rybovich's work reveals a personal concern for the fragile environment of her native Florida.
