Even Still

Bella Abzug Park

October 2025-October 2026

Even Still is displayed in Bella Abzug Park on the corner of W 34th Street and Hudson Boulevard East.

Even Still is a sculpture born of the paradox between movement and stasis. Abstract geometry and charged luminous colors and high-key patterns, the work stages a collision between order and disruption. Its bold colors and rhythmic surfaces engage the eye in constant motion, while its grounded structure insists on stillness.

Almond Zigmund is interested in how geometry can act as both a universal language and a destabilizing force. Grids and planes are familiar frameworks of architecture, design, and everyday life - yet when manipulated through pattern, scale, and color, they resist compliance. The result is an object that hovers between the structural and the playful, the architectural and the ornamental.

Even Still asks viewers to negotiate this tension: to feel both the pull of balance and the lure of dissonance. It is about inhabiting contradictions - finding vitality in stillness, humor in rigor, and exuberance in control.

Ultimately, the piece is less about resolution than about creating a charged encounter. By saturating space with bright color and dynamic form, Almond invites the viewer to enter a dialogue where perception itself becomes active, alive, and unsettled - even still.

Almond Zigmund creates sculptures, installations, and works on paper that transform space through the interplay of vivid color, bold pattern, and geometric form. Her practice explores how built environments shape experience, often pushing against the boundaries between structure and disruption, stability and play.

Zigmund’s work has been exhibited widely, including at the Marjorie Barrack Museum of Art, Guild Hall East Hampton, Parrish Art Museum, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art.

Her large-scale public art projects have been commissioned for institutions, corporations, and civic spaces, reflecting her interest in how art can reframe everyday encounters with architecture and landscape.

Zigmund lives and works in New York, where she continues to experiment with ways geometry and pattern can both anchor and unsettle perception.

Even Still is commissioned and presented by the Hudson Yards Hell’s Kitchen Alliance, and curated/produced by Debra Simon Art Consulting.
