Jenny Doores & Andrew Cho. Devil Take the Hindmost
INSIGHT Art Talk: April 30 | 7 pm Jenny Doores combines bold simplicity and fantastic imagery in her sculptures. Nude women travel on the shells of giant tortoises. A blindfolded woman emotionlessly nurses a bald homunculus in spectacles and a business suit. These figures are robust and idealized archetypes. They evoke mythology.
