HANNAH LEVY – CRUTCH
2023-04-17Hannah Levy presents Crutch, an exhibition of new wall-based and freestanding sculptures that exist as extensions of the body. Absorbed in the material encounter of two seemingly opposing mediums, Levy introduces glass into her practice. A mix of traditional and experimental processes are used to alter, slump, swell and sag the glass as it submits to its metal opponent. Concentrating her source material, which spans vegetables, medical equipment, prosthetics, and furniture, on forms that implicate mobility aids, Levy considers our physical and psychological relationships to our built environment.
The works function like prophecies: they are symbols of the shared anxieties of our bodily condition, acknowledging the universal yet unspoken truth that we are fallible and impermanent.
