Patricia Ayres (b. 1975, New York, lives and works in New York)

Patricia Ayres’ practice relates to stories of isolation, separation, and confinement. Analyzing the mechanisms of physical and psychological control, Ayres creates anthropomorphic, totemic sculptures that are wrapped with strips of elastic, liquid latex, padding, and other materials, and incorporate techniques that draw on the artist’s background in fashion design.
