Holly Hendry @ Stephen Friedman Gallery

By exploring the idiosyncrasies of the human body, Holly Hendry’s sculptures and installations take formal inspiration from machinery and diagrammatic depictions of anatomy. Expanded casting methods are central to the artist’s process in which she uses an array of materials like steel, Jesmonite, silicone, ash, charcoal, lipstick, chewed gum, soap, foam, marble and grit. “Fatty Acids”, her new work challenges our perception of the neat distinction between our physical bodies, emotions and mechanisation.
