In recent years Polonsky has investigated and expanded the various facets of his art practice via engineering techniques, sculpting, and painting. Lush colors and large, dramatically shaped wire mesh “canvases” allow for flexibility in each piece, enabling the work to reach out from the wall towards the viewer.

As with his previous three-dimensional series (the food series, the botanical series, stamps, the solar system), Polonsky maintains an alluring attraction to the natural world. Leaves, Rocks, Flowers encourages intimacy; asking the viewer to observe and gaze closely, see the intricacies, beauty, and the wonder of our world.
