SOHO2O Chelsea Gallery presents "Embodiments," an exhibition of Susan Case's most recent mixed-media figurative sculptures. In her work, Case explores the theme of metamorphosis and the figure's ability to reflect the world around us.   Working in a variety of media in accordance with the concept of the piece, Case's figures are made of common, everyday materials such as: newspaper, nails, paint and string. These life-size, gendered figures are constructed out of plaster and wire screen whose form is built up from wads and rolls of newspaper.   Working with paint and collaged paper, their surfaces are textured and tactile.   Susan Case lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has exhibited her work at the Museum of Art (formally the Museum of Fine Arts), The Center for Contemporary Arts, and El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe. This is her second solo show at SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery.   For more information or visuals, contact Gallery Director, Alessandra Duarte at SOHO20 Chelsea by e-mail: soho20@verizon.net by phone: 212.367.8994   SOHO2O Gallery was founded in 1973 in New York's SOHO district, as a non-profit, artist run organization by 20 women artists devoted to the mission of increasing public awareness of the excellence and diversity of women's art.
