Anna Sew Hoy Explained

Anna Sew Hoy (born 1976, Auckland, New Zealand) is an American sculptor based in Los Angeles, California.[1] She utilizes sculpture, ceramics, public art and performance to connect with our environment, and to demonstrate the power found in the fleeting and handmade. Her work has been at the forefront of a re-engagement with clay in contemporary art, and is identified with a critical rethinking of the relationship between art and craft.

Life and work

Sew Hoy completed her BFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 1998, and she finished her MFA at Bard College in 2008.[2]

In 2019, she was hired full-time at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she is now Associate Professor and Ceramics Area Head in the Department of Art.[3]

Sew Hoy is a recipient of the 2021 Anonymous Was a Woman Award,[4] and in 2018, she was the inaugural Martha Longenecker Roth Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Department of Visual Arts, University of California, San Diego.[5] In 2022, Sew Hoy was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.[6] [7]

Sew Hoy’s work has been shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,[8] the Orange County Museum of Art,[9] the storefront at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles;[10] Koenig & Clinton, New York;[11] [12] [13] the Aspen Art Museum, Colorado;[14] the San Jose Museum of Art;[15] [16] and Sikkema Jenkins & Company, New York.[17] Sew Hoy’s largest public sculpture to date, Psychic Body Grotto, opened at Los Angeles State Historic Park in Spring 2017,[18] commissioned by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND)[19] and supported by a 2015 Creative Capital Award for Visual Arts.[20] [21]

Her work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum at UCLA, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
