Also included is an excerpt from my Harper’s Bazaar interview with Brooke Bobb, which touches on my mother’s influence on my artistic development. My mother has been a lifelong lover of fashion, so it is only fitting that the exhibition opens on Mother’s Day
“Beyond the technical and formal connections, I have a longstanding love of fashion and the dialogue with the fashion world that living in New York makes possible. My mother, who has a strong sense of style, studied fashion illustration and worked as an illustrator in Virginia, so fashion was always part of my upbringing.
I also enjoyed the film Mannequin as a child-it was in heavy rotation on TV during my formative years-and mannequins have a rich, time-honored presence in art history. Charles Ray, one of my teachers at UCLA and the subject of a recent survey at The Met, has used mannequins in his work to extraordinary effect. Altogether, it made this project feel like a genuine full-circle moment.”
#CostumeArt
We discussed the process of making the mannequins, the importance of body diversity in fashion, and how this relates to my ongoing series of figurative sculptures.

The following is an excerpt from Designboom about the creation of the mannequins:
“The process for creating this set of mannequins at The Met’s Costume Art exhibition begins with full-body scans of real bodies. Models are digitally scanned, their forms captured in high resolution before being converted into three-dimensional models. These files become the basis for physical mannequins that retain the contours, posture, and proportions of the original subjects.
Sculptor Frank Benson led the development of these structures, working between digital data and physical fabrication. His contributions included fourteen digitally-sculpted mannequins along with a full-scale replica of a Roman Trophy Relief from The Met’s permanent collection.
The translation from scan to object requires adjustment at each step, and balances a true likeness to the body with the practical needs of supporting garments. The figures are engineered to hold clothing securely while maintaining the specificity of the scanned form, a process that positions them between sculpture and display infrastructure.
Across the exhibition, these mannequins appear in sections that focus on bodily diversity, including the pregnant body, the corpulent body, and the disabled body. Each figure is modeled on an individual to bring distinct physical experiences into the gallery and extend the range of bodies typically visible in fashion exhibitions.”

Since the original marble fragment could not be moved from the Greek and Roman gallery, I produced a replica entirely in-house — refining the scan data, 3D printing the relief in parts, then assembling and painting the finished piece. It’s now on view alongside this stunning Dior gown by Maria Grazia Chiuri, whose trompe l’oeil embroidery draws direct inspiration from the armor depicted in the relief.
Costume Art opens May 10th.

Post Human
Texts by Jeffrey Deitch, Rosi Braidotti, Philippa Snow
Edited by Viola Angiolini
Designed by Folder Studio
Published by The Monacelli Press (March 2026)
Originally exhibited in 1992, Jeffrey Deitch’s groundbreaking exhibition Post Human brought together the work of thirty-six young artists interested in new frontiers of body and identity transformation. The prescient exhibition, which traveled to five international venues, introduced the art world to posthumanism—how the human body continues to merge with and diverge from technology. Both the show and its catalogue, which featured a unique visual essay and innovative design, helped set the agenda for art discourse in the 1990s.
More than thirty years later, Deitch revitalized Post Human at his Los Angeles gallery, bringing the themes of the original back to the present. The show’s 2024 iteration presented several key figures who participated in the original exhibition in dialogue with emerging contemporary artists whose boundary-pushing work explores how these themes, particularly recent forms of technology such as AI, have evolved over the course of the twenty-first century.

#SCurve
Photo portfolio for DISimages
DISimages was an agency and web platform that commissioned and licensed artist-made images for use in advertising or publishing, and offered a radical alternative to the uncanny homogeneity of commercial stock images.
The project grew out of the DIS collective’s long-running online publication DisMagazine, and reflects the magazine’s signature interest in neoliberal corporate aesthetics as well as the varied practices of the community of artists that surrounded it.

A pivotal work for me, this was the first in my series of figurative sculptures and my first large-scale piece after graduating from UCLA. Originally created for a presentation at Art Basel Miami with Taxter & Spengemann, it now joins a collection that profoundly shaped my time as a student in Los Angeles.
With sincere thanks to Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard for their generous gift.
