Tammara Ballard’s current sculpture is as disarming as a Bosch painting—both pretty and horrific—the polished mechanics of violence and war brought together as if in craft projects one might see on any coffee table in a middle class home—the odd nightmarish counterparts to silk flowers and plastic fruit.
