Tureen will debut at Independent with a solo presentation featuring work by Sonya Kelliher-Combs.

The work of Indigenous artist Sonya Kelliher-Combs (Iñupiaq and Athabascan) forges new paths in sculpture, painting, and drawing by incorporating both traditional and synthetic materials in the formation of a singular visual lexicon. From walrus gut to acrylic gel polymer, porcupine quill to nylon thread, her materials serve as the foundation for surfaces and forms that recall post-minimalists like Eva Hesse or Jackie Winsor but reveal new kinds of beauty, new monuments to injustice, that emerge from her people and homelands. The works on view represent significant additions to multiple ongoing series in Kelliher-Combs’ practice that embody this singular approach.
