Sheree Hovsepian’s works express movement and form in a way that prompts a heightened awareness of the body’s weight and gestures. Through intimate photographs of figures cropped and covered within assemblages, the artist has consistently created a presence that expands beyond the pieces themselves to tap into the viewer’s own physical consciousness. Hovsepian merges photography, sculpture, and performance by interweaving these images with nylon fabric and silver-gelatin photograms, letting the human figure take its form from the negative spaces created by the structures around it. The strong sense of motion across the works—twisting anatomies, folds in paper, and stretching nylon—echo the performative aspects of exposing and shielding light-sensitive paper. This practice persists in the ultimate compositions, as the photograms themselves now conceal and reveal other materials. Hovsepian’s assemblages magnify the sensuality, fluidity, and versatility of the female body. The nylon fiber is pulled taut and, like in all of the works where there is not complete symmetry, there is a careful balance of forms. The nylon acts almost like a womb, holding the delicately rolled photogram secure in place.
