Malia Jensen (b. 1966) presents a work titled Perfect Circle, Imperfect, in which a ring of ceramic cats, fired with glaze, concrete, and glass, fit neatly into one another. You can’t move for cats in Miami this week; around every corner is a painting or sculpture of one. But Malia Jensen’s sculpture manages to stand out through a compelling use of material and an accomplished negotiation between a figurative subject matter and a composition that ultimately ends in a fairly abstract form.
