A single sculpture by Oklahoma-born Petah Coyne might include a dozen materials ranging from the baroque to the kitsch in character-pearl-headed hatpins, ribbons, silk flowers, candies, powder, tar and feathers. Resembling enormous sentient chandeliers, they evoke a love of domestic materials, fairy tale arcana and biomorphic proliferation.

A single sculpture by Oklahoma-born Petah Coyne might include a dozen materials ranging from the baroque to the kitsch in character-pearl-headed hatpins, ribbons, silk flowers, candies, powder, tar and feathers. Resembling enormous sentient chandeliers, they evoke a love of domestic materials, fairy tale arcana and biomorphic proliferation. "I love it when they look past maintenance," Coyne has said of her sculptures, "like a plant on somebody's porch that's kind of lost its mind." Her diverse bodies of work-from the early hanging black sand sculptures to the current works in wax and silk-share a sense of simultaneous strength and fragility. Though often unwieldy in size, they all appear vulnerable and delicate. This artist's book reflects Coyne's dialogue with organic form-whether natural or artificial, sentimental or campy. Included is an essay by critic and Art in America editor Ann Wilson Lloyd.

Seller's Description:
VG+ Color illus. paper over boards; 88 pp.; 37 color illustrations. From the exhibition of the same name, which was held at Galerie Lelong in New York City; Includes texts by Ann Wilson Lloyd and Leslie Scalapino; Vivid color illustrations. From rear cover: "A sculpture by Petah Coyne might include a range of unconventional materials such as chicken wire, wax, sand, silk flowers, pearl-headed hatpins, candles, taxidermy animals, black velvet, feathers and ribbons. In the artist's hands, these disparate items are transformed into voluminous, complex organic forms that seem to either emerge from below or descend from above. At times suggestive of sprawling, all-but-sentient chandeliers, the works are rich with narrative metaphor and evoke a love of domestic materials, fairy tale arcana and biomorphic proliferation. "I love it when they look past maintenance, " Coyne has said of her sculptures, "like a plant on somebody's porch that's kind of lost its mind." From her early hanging black sand sculptures to her latest works in wax and silk Coyne's otherwordly structures are simultaneously fragile and imposing, delicate yet exquisitely untamable."--Jacket.
