Eight plush wall hanging sculptural works, ranging from small to large scale, are encased by Temin’s signature medium of synthetic fur in Anna Schwartz Gallery.

Unified in a dusty pink palate, the works are individually sewn, stuffed, and covered with a soft, cuddly, toy-like, artificial fabric, challenging conventions of both taste and art history. Craft activities from the 1970s are combined with Minimalism that includes the grid, repetition, and the monochrome as objects for personal and collective remembering.

The exhibition Wall Works invokes notions of suburbia and interior design, structured around the tension between the familiar and the strange, the organic and the artificial, the literal and the metaphoric, the minimal and the anthropomorphic.
