Logan Lecture: Petah Coyne

About Artist Petah Coyne: Petah Coyne’s sculptures convey tension between vulnerability and aggression, innocence and seduction, beauty and decadence, and, ultimately, life and death. Existing between the boundaries of figuration and abstraction, they incorporate unconventional materials such as tree roots, sand, human hair, scrap metal, silk flowers, Velcro, religious statuary, and taxidermy. She thinks of her sculpture as bodies in movement thus linking the installations to her photography, which also captures bodies in movement. (DAM)
