Waves and Archives | Sinéad O'Dwyer "In Myself"

In the Seaport District of NYC, Manan Ter-Grigoryan, Julian A. Jimarez Howard, and Marianna Kosheleva created Waves and Archives, a platform that explores the intersection of art and fashion. For its inaugural showing, London-based fashion artist Sinéad O’Dwyer presents her first New York solo show titled “In Myself.”

The large-scale exhibition is comprised of her earliest collection, 23:19:26, recent collection “Martina,” and a piece created for an upcoming collaborative performance with the V&A museum.

Highlighting the binary dichotomies of fashion language, and the human form, Sinéad seeks to reveal the oppressive nature which established and narrow labels can create. In life-casting diverse human forms with fiberglass molds, O’Dwyer challenges the arbitrary definitions of an ‘ideal’ figure and depicts a more accurate reality of the beautiful and varied bodies amongst us.

The show is on view from March 6th to April 3rd, 2020 at 117 Beekman Street.
