Shechet has immersed herself in diverse materials—from plaster and wood to ceramic and steel—since the 1990s, creating sculptures that range from intimate to monumental in scale. 

 

“I chose this relief from the others in Girl Group at Storm King because it has planes and lines and texture. That’s almost the whole vocabulary of the large sculptures shrunk into a small, very special thing.” —Arlene Shechet


New Dawn’s interplay of surface textures creates an array of effects in a monochrome palette. The edition has also been designed for versatility, and can be displayed as a wall-mounted relief or a freestanding object.
