The robotic-jellyfish likeness of Roberta Rousos' “Wings Over Sunset” sculpture is like an old, outdated machine tossed overboard, sinking to the bottom of the ocean, as a piece of discarded netting gets stuck on top of it and they drift together. Her work is a collision of the past and the future, of softness and hardness, and a reverence for the technology we throw away.
