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).
