“Bodies merge with stuff,” explains LA sculptor Anna Sew Hoy of her recent sculptures, succinctly introducing her intention to build bodies that allow reshaped thinking. Installed at Koenig and Clinton Gallery in Chelsea, denim ‘worms’ and arms lifted to create an oval shape bespeak fluidity and openness. (Through July 29th).
Based in LA, artist Anna Sew Hoy has more interesting purposes for trench coats than wearing them. This one, titled ‘Black Noir/beige tan’ recalls a line drawing or futuristic garb for a sci-fi thriller; but held aloft by two precious and strange objects – a resin, finger-shaped hook and a ceramic hanger – it evokes appealingly idiosyncratic storylines. (At Louis B. James Gallery on the Lower East Side through Jan 26th).
