Tamar Zinn blogs about Helen O'Leary: Delicate Negotiations, on view at Lesley Heller Workspace, New York, through October 18, 2015.

Zinn writes: "The work of Helen O'Leary embodies a multiplicity of meanings and does so with unassuming power. Combining both painting and sculpture, O'Leary's work evidences purposefulness as well as deep emotion, drawing on her life as an artist, as well as her personal narrative."
