Anna Sew Hoy (b. 1976, Auckland, New Zealand) is an American sculptor based in Los Angeles, California. She works primarily in clay, a medium she has been drawn to since high school. Sew Hoy’s works are abstract and blend found everyday items with uniquely crafted ceramic pieces to evoke a familiar yet uncanny response. Noting the performative aspect of working with clay, Sew Hoy has often engaged other artists to activate her sculptural installations through performance. Art critic Christopher Miles has called the artist’s work “utterly contemporary… in both its go-lightly cannibalism with regard to boomer-era agendas and preoccupations—from Funk art and folk craft to essentialist symbolism—and its openness to the cultural forms and detritus of its moment (arguably not unlike Robert Rausc

  • Anna Sew Hoy (b. 1976, Auckland, New Zealand) is an American sculptor based in Los Angeles, California. She works primarily in clay, a medium she has been drawn to since high school. Sew Hoy’s works are abstract and blend found everyday items with uniquely crafted ceramic pieces to evoke a familiar yet uncanny response. Noting the performative aspect of working with clay, Sew Hoy has often engaged other artists to activate her sculptural installations through performance. Art critic Christopher Miles has called the artist’s work “utterly contemporary… in both its go-lightly cannibalism with regard to boomer-era agendas and preoccupations—from Funk art and folk craft to essentialist symbolism—and its openness to the cultural forms and detritus of its moment (arguably not unlike Robert Rauschenberg’s openness to that of his) as legitimate grist for serious artmaking.” Solo presentations of Sew Hoy’s work have been mounted at the MOCA Storefront, Los Angeles; Koenig & Clinton, New York; Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; San Jose Museum of Art; and Sikkema Jenkins & Company, New York. She is a recipient of the 2021 Anonymous Was a Woman Award 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. Sew Hoy’s largest public sculpture to date, Psychic Body Grotto, opened at Los Angeles State Historic Park in Spring 2017, commissioned by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) and supported by a 2015 Creative Capital Award for Visual Arts. Her work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum at UCLA, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD).
