  Today, Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m. – Shana Hoehn is a Los Angeles-based artist working in sculpture and drawing. Through her art practice, Hoehn considers modes and conditions of agency, embodiment and transformation. Hoehn’s sculptural work combines traditional and digital fabrication techniques and employs various materials including wood, sawdust, clay and metal. Her work references a long and winding history of women contorting and the bodily destruction involved with transformation. Hoehn received her MFA from the Virginia Commonwealth University in sculpture and extended media and earned a BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries across the U.S. and in Mexico, and Hoehn has participated in various international residencies.
