About the Exhibition:

Experience sprawling sculptural works made of cloth, human hair, scrap metal, wax, silk flowers and other unorthodox materials in Petah Coyne: How Much A Heart Can Hold, on view Sept. 9-Dec. 23 at the Chazen Museum of Art. The exhibition features more than a dozen works, several on display for the first time. It serves as both a multi-decade exploration of the contemporary American sculptor’s career and an ode to women’s complexity and creativity.

Coyne reads two to three books per week. Most of them are by women writers. As she sews, she often imagines characters from different books in dialogue with one another. The exhibition’s three sections — “Women’s Work,” “Women Obscured and Transformed” and “Women’s Relationships” — present a view of Coyne’s artistic practice while honoring the literary contributors she loves.
