4: Petah Coyne

While I was at my internship today, I learned about this really neat artist named Petah Coyne. I'm digging her installation and sculpture work, which I would describe as dark, mysterious and enchanting. I admire Coyne's craftsmanship and care for detail. Her works are created from diverse materials such as silk flowers, chicken wire, feathers, ribbon, hair and wax (just to name a few). Her sculptures appear to be frozen in time during a period of decay and death; yet they are so beautiful and breathtaking to look at.
