Patricia Ayres makes anthropomorphic, totemic sculptures working with the physicalities of different fabrics, wrapping and joining them to create bodily-like structures. She brings materials and hardware from the fashion industry into her artwork resulting in a practice that focuses on stories of isolation, separation, and confinement.
