"Fired Up might be winding down, but there's at least one bright ember that will continue to glow. Sculptor Bradley Sabin's "Second Nature" exhibition at Soren Christensen Gallery is a lush, symbolic garden, rendered in clay. Each ambitious ceramic still-life features fruit, flowers, seeds and other roundish female elements, blended with sharper, more linear male components such as slip-cast antlers, asparagus spears and snakes.

The most spectacular work is an untitled 2008 composition of ceramic rib bones and violet lilies, clustered on the wall in the shape of an enormous ovary -- does Eve Ensler, author of "The Vagina Monologues," know about this?"
