Olga Brava has transformed the Project Space into a midnight-blue jewel box of a gallery with a stunning selection of her tabletop sculptures and hanging spheres. Her works, all from the last year, are a magical amalgam of the organic and the fanciful, with surfaces that range from rough-hewn to deliciously lustrous.
