Heather Cox “Clipped”
The West 10th Street Window
This event has ended.
Time Equities Inc. presents the newest exhibition at the West 10th Window: Heather Cox, Clipped.
Heather Cox’s Clipped is a site-specific installation made entirely of fingernail clippers. The project is an iteration of an ongoing body of work by Cox, entitled Clipper Project. In her work, Cox repurposes simple, overlooked objects – such as aspirin, pins, and erasers – as surrogates for the minutia of everyday life. The clippers in particular evoke strong memory and sense associations; it’s hard to look at them without imagining their use and hearing their quick, sharp sound. The garland of clippers strung together in the West 10th Window catches flashes of sunlight and casts elaborate shadows, giving this benign, everyday object an unusual new life.
Heather Cox lives and works in New York City. She received her early training in book arts and photography at Mills College, studied sculpture at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture and received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She has an upcoming solo exhibition, Crush, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Jacksonville, FL. Previous exhibitions include Nina Freudenheim Gallery, Buffalo; CollectiCo/Art, NY; Nohra Haime Gallery, NY; Porthsmouth Museum of Art, NH; and Islip Art Museum, NY, among many others.
