Gretchen Bennett’s Dying Fawn, freezes and preserves in a small porcelain sculpture the moment of passing on. It’s intimate, yet awkwardly small scale and tangible material entices a viewer toward it, even as the heart-wrenching gesture of Bennett’s familiar fawn should repel them. Each exquisite sculpture rests on a felt pad.
