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. By contrast, Andrew Cho’s ceramic vessels are very much of the physical world. Cho brings realism to pottery with the materiality of gritty clay and buttery glazes. These materials…
