From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
