The Pit presents Earth Canal, Ryan Schneider’s solo exhibition of redwood, stone, and bronze sculptures. Evoking ancient idols and primordial forms, the works channel early civilizations and the California desert, reflecting on human experience amid cultural anxiety and AI’s rise. Through carving, burning, and gilding, Schneider’s pieces convey transformation, energy, and ritual, inviting viewers to engage with body, earth, and spirit across time.
