Katy Heinlein : Unknown Pleasures
February 21- March 29, 2008
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 21, 6 – 8 pm

Women & Their Work proudly presents Unknown Pleasures, a solo sculpture exhibition by Houston-based artist Katy Heinlein.Using sinuous folds of draped fabric as her medium, Heinlein creates surprising structures full of elegance and moxie that invite the viewer to look beneath the surface. Swathed around hidden buttresses, assuming shapes ranging from quirky to austere, Heinlein’s carefully choreographed cloth challenges our perceptions of traditional sculpture. Fabric is deeply rooted in our lives as it both adorns and conceals, and Heinlein’s sumptuous materials, bunched-and-gathered shapes and flirtatious jolts of color playfully navigate the line between preserving mystery and revealing unknown pleasures.
