Known Pleasures
April 14, 2008

Last month’s exhibit at W&TW, Unknown Pleasures, featured the enigmatic sculptural work of Katy Heinlein.

Maybe it was the title of the show, or maybe people were titillated by the jolts of pink fabric skimming some of the pieces…

…or maybe it was the suggestive shapes poking up through the fabric. But public curiosity was piqued! Everybody was all, “What’s under that cloth?”
Obviously, we couldn’t let everybody peek under the cloth while the exhibit was still up. But we don’t want to leave anybody lying awake at night wondering what was hiding under there. So, just between us friends, here’s the big reveal from the breakdown of the show:

And there you have it–in the expert hands of Katy Heinlein, the humblest of dowels are magically transformed into sexy mystery shapes. Do check out more pictures from the exhibition at our Flickr page!
