- "Less", contemporary, vest, green, brass, gold, mixed media, ceramic, sculptureBy Virginia MahoneyLocated in Natick, MAVirginia Mahoney’s “Less” is a mixed-media sculpture in vest form that is primarily green with many prints and variations, and has attached ceramic tags in shades of green, on which words, referring to being less than others, are handwritten in metallic gold acrylic.
