Delicate-looking yet holding down an entire wall, Kay Sekimachi’s eye-grabbing monofilament sculpture has an ethereal presence that contrasts the smaller yet seemingly weightier woven pieces in her mini-retrospective at Andrew Kreps Gallery. Select works from the ‘50s to the ‘90s show Sekimachi’s inventive approach to weaving, which the 98-year-old fiber-artist has developed over an almost 80-year career. Having learned double-weave technique in the ‘50s from German American textile artist Trude Guermonprez, Sekimachi developed the practice to create sculptural works that could be hung to dynamic effect. (On view in Tribeca through Nov 1st).
